There are four consecutive fall terms in this report (26 to 29). The headcount figures reported here are the counts as of census date for the given term (the end of the fourth week of classes), and exclude students who are only auditing classes and students who withdrew from all their classes prior to census date. Campus specific reports present unduplicated headcount. To avoid duplication of counting students and credit hours within a single term, all campus specific values are based on assigning students to a single campus based on where they are enrolled in the majority of their credit hours. These counts are the same figures reported to the Department of Higher Education. They are published by DHE as the College's "official" enrollment and should, therefore, be used whenever headcount figures are reported externally. The credit hours figures reported here are enrolled hours as of census date for those students enrolled for credit. These hours should not be used for budget purposes. Most budget purposes will require end of session hours including audit hours and hours withdrawn prior to census (% and 5% refund hours). Questions about this report should be directed to: Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment Kelli Burns, Senior Research Associate kburns@stlcc.edu (314) 539 5371 2
