Notes to Tables

Table IA. 1a. Alumni Survey - 1996

In Spring 1996, alumni who received bachelor's degrees between December 1992 and August 1993 were surveyed. Surveys were mailed to 678 of the 728 degree recipients. 336 surveys were returned. For additional information, contact Institutional Research, CL 823.

Table IB. 1. Degrees Granted

Degrees granted includes all students and all programs. A graduation year is dated from July 1 through the following June 30. Students with double majors are not counted twice. This table will be updated every July

Table IC. 1 and 2. Retention Rates

Retention rates for new fall freshmen and transfers include full-time and part-time students. The 3-year averages are weighted by the cohort sizes of the three most recent falls. Students enrolled in the Extended Degree Program are not tracked. Retention rates are updated each fall. &127;For retention rates for particular student groups or for spring entrants, contact Institutional Research, CL 823.

Table ID. 1 and 2. Graduation Rates

Graduation rates for new fall freshmen and transfers include full-time and part-time students. The 3-year averages are weighted by the cohort sizes of the three most recent falls. Students enrolled in the Extended Degree Program are not tracked. Summer graduations are included in the prior spring. For example, a 1991 freshman who graduates &127;in August 1995 has graduated within four years. Graduation rates are updated in the fall. For graduation rates for particular student groups or for spring entrants, contact Institutional Research, CL 823.

Table IE. Credits to Degree

Students who entered as New Fall Freshmen (full-time or part-time) in Fall 1990, Fall 1991 or Fall 1992 and who had received bachelor's degrees from UW-Green Bay by May 1996 are included. Students in the Extended Degree Program who earn the Bachelor's of General Studies are not included in this analysis. Students completing majors in Education are also excluded because of the student teaching requirement. Summer 1996 graduates will be added into this analysis in Fall 1996. Then, the table will be updated each fall. Credits to degree information for Spring entrants and transfer students can be summarized if needed. Contact Institutional Research, CL 823.

Table IIA. Headcount and FTE Enrollments

These headcount and FTE totals include all students taking regular and extended degree courses. Students taking only extension, outreach, study abroad, CAPP, remedial and agency-funded courses are not included. Full-time Equivalent (FTE) enrollments are calculated by examining students' credit loads and degree level:
      Total Undergraduate Credits       Total Graduate Credits
      ---------------------------   +   ----------------------   = FTE
                  15                            12
     

Table IIB. 1 and 2. Headcounts and FTE by Level and Class

These headcount and FTE totals include all students taking regular and extended degree courses. Students taking only extension, outreach, study abroad, CAPP, remedial and agency-funded courses are not included. See the notes for table IIA for the definition of FTE. The categories of student are:
      FR = Matriculating Freshman (0 through 23 credits earned)
      SO = Matriculating Sophomore (24 through 53 credits earned)
      JR = Matriculating Junior (54 through 83 credits earned)
      SR = Matriculating Senior (over 83 credits earned)
      SP = Undergraduate Special, not matriculating
      GR = Graduate Student, including matriculating and special
      EDP= Extended Degree Program matriculating undergraduate
     

Table IIIA. 1 and 2. Headcounts by Class Level, Status, Gender and Full-time/Part-time

Students taking regular, remedial, auditor or Extended Degree Program (EDP) courses are included. Extension, Study Abroad, Agency and CAPP credits for the included students are also used to determine their FT/PT status. Only regular, auditor (at half value) and EDP credits are included in the FTE calculation. See the note for Table IIA for FTE formula. See the note for Table IIB for class standing definitions.

Table IIIB. 1. Gender Distribution

All undergraduate and graduate students taking regular courses are included. The Extended Degree Program students are excluded in years prior to 1996, but are included starting in Fall 1996.

Table IIIB. 2. Age by Gender, Full-time/Part-time, and Level

All students taking regular courses are included. Extended Degree Program students are excluded in years prior to 1996, but are included starting in Fall 1996. Age is calculated as of September 1. The table is based on fall data.

Table IIIB. 3a and 3b. Geographic Origins

The tables are based on Fall data for students taking regular courses. Extended Degree Program students are excluded in years prior to 1996, but are included starting in Fall 1996. (Freshmen and Transfer sub-totals do not include EDP students. EDP students will appear in the Undergraduate and ALl Student totals.) The home code is used to identify geographic origin. The "tier" structure groups counties according to their distance from the University.

Table IIIB. 4. Race/Ethnicity

The tables are based on Fall data for students taking regular courses. Extended Degree Program students are excluded in years prior to 1996, but are included starting in Fall 1996.

Table IIIC. University Housing Profile

The tables are based on Fall data for students living in campus housing. Click here for additional information about campus housing.

Table IVA. Admissions Ratios

These tables summarize the fall admissions process. The yield ratios may differ slightly from other sources due to different definitions of "enrolled" new students and timing.

Table VA. 1 and 2. Majors and Minors Declared

Majors and minors declared includes all students from all programs. Students with multiple majors or minors are duplicated. Students with declared majors who are taking only extension, remedial, agency-funded or study-abroad courses ARE included (they are generally excluded in other parts of the Factbook because they do not contribute FTE). Each fall, these tables will be updated approximately two weeks into the term. They will be revised in the Spring, to reflect changes in majors processed during the fall, so that ultimately each fall's information reflects declarations at the end of the term.

Table VA. 3 and 4. Profiles by Major

Majors and minors declared includes all students from all programs. Students with multiple majors or minors are duplicated. Students with declared majors who are taking only extension, remedial, agency-funded or study-abroad courses ARE included (they are generally excluded in other parts of the Factbook because they do not contribute FTE). These tables will NOT be updated in the Spring. Some academic profile information is missing; averages reflect available data.

Table VB. 1 and 2. Majors and Minors Graduated

Majors and minors granted includes all graduates from all programs. A graduation year is dated from July 1 through the following June 30. Students with multiple majors or minors are duplicated. This table will be updated every Summer.

Table VB. 3. Profile of Majors Graduated

The population of students is the same as Table VB. 1 Students with Honors includes Cum laude, Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude. Minorities includes only self-identified U.S. minority students. Students with no home code are assumed to be Wisconsin residents. Credits at graduation is an estimate based on available data.

Table VB. 4. &127;Unduplicated Headcount of Graduated Majors

The population of students is the same as Table VB. 1 &127;Students with double majors are coucnted at .5 for each major.

Table VI A. University Course Enrollments

This table summarizes the totals on the tables in section VI B. (See below for details.)

Table VI B. 1 and 2. Headcount and Student Credit Hour Course Enrollments

Enrollments in non-credit, remedial, study abroad, credit outreach, agency-funded, CAPP, extension and extended study courses are not included. Student Credit Hours (SCH) are the total number of credits enrolled by students in a given period (dropped courses and withdrawn students are not included). Lower Level includes 100 and 200 level courses, regardless of the standing of the students taking them. 300 and 400 level courses are Upper Level. Graduate Level courses are number 500, 600 and 700. IST stands for Individualized Instruction, and includes work in independent study and field experience. LAB includes lab and discussion sections. LEC includes lecture and seminar format courses. Data are from the end of the term except for the most recent table, which will be updated when the next term is loaded.

Table VI B. 3. Sections of Group Courses Enrollments

Non-credit, remedial, study abroad, credit outreach, agency-funded, CAPP, extension and extended study courses are not included. Lower Level includes 100 and 200 level courses, regardless of the standing of the students taking them. 300 and 400 level courses are Upper Level. Graduate Level courses are number 500, 600 and 700. LAB includes lab and discussion sections. LEC includes lecture and seminar format courses. Cross-listed courses are counted as separate sections. (The purpose of this table is to track curricular offerings, not workload issues.)

Table VI B. 4. Sections Sizes of Undergraduate Group Courses

Non-credit, remedial, study abroad, credit outreach, agency-funded, CAPP, extension and extended study courses are not included. Lower Level includes 100 and 200 level courses, regardless of the standing of the students taking them. 300 and 400 level courses are Upper Level. LAB includes lab and discussion sections. LEC includes lecture and seminar format courses. Data are from the end of the term except for the most recent table, which will be updated when the next term is loaded. Cross-listed courses are counted as separate sections, each generating the total enrollment from all listings. This should reflect section sizes from the perspectives of the students. The section size totals are slightly inflated relative to a method attributing all enrollments to one "credit bearing" section.

Table VI C. Unduplicated Group Courses

Non-credit, remedial, study abroad, credit outreach, agency-funded, CAPP, extension and extended study courses are not included. Lower Level includes 100 and 200 level courses, regardless of the standing of the students taking them. 300 and 400 level courses are Upper Level. Graduate Level courses arae nnumbered 500, 600 and 700. Independent Study and Field Experience are excluded. This table counts the number of unique course numbers that have been offered by each teaching unit over the past four years. It can be used in relation to the number of courses that the unit could potentially offer.

Table VI D. Percent of Credits in General Education

Non-credit, remedial, study abroad, credit outreach, agency-funded, CAPP, extension and extended study graduate, lab, discussion, independent study and field experience courses are not included. Only undergraduate lectures and seminars are included. A course's enrollments are counted as General Education if the course is a domain course, writing emphasis, ethnic studies, other culture, senior seminar or 351-101 or 352-105. For additional details or breakdowns, contact the Office of Institutional Research (click on "help", below).

Table VI E. Cost per Credit for Majors

This information is provided by the UW-System on reports PM20-05 and PM05-08. It shows the average cost of lower and upper level courses taken by students with a particular major. Costs for programs with few majors can vary widely from year to year. The Cluster Averages show average costs per credit of all comprehensive universities in the UW system at each of the levels.

Table VII. A, B and C. Faculty Tables.

All instructors generating credit hours and conducting labs are included. Tables A and B contain information about full-time faculty teaching in the fall. The FTE information comes from the Budget Office, and is based on the October payroll. Credit Hours are based on the tenth day, and include fall EDP activities.
