Fall 2011 Graduate Level IntraCT

The Fall 2011 is the first in term after which the Restructuring the Oversight and Support of Graduate Education to Enhance Excellence plan was completed. Per the plan summary: "The Graduate School will be reconfigured from a free-standing administrative unit to which all graduate programs directly report, to an Office of Graduate Education that parallels the Office of Undergraduate Education."

The FAQ section explains how this change will affect institutional reporting: "Professional degrees, master's programs, and applied doctoral programs outside the Academic Health Center will be the responsibility of collegiate units and campuses. For health professional programs, the current process in health sciences will continue."

Our Official Enrollment Reports have always reported graduate students based upon their college of enrollment as opposed to the graduate school, so these counts will not change. However, due to the reclassification of students in the underlying system, a majority of Continuing graduate students have been classified with a registration status of Intra Campus Transfer (Intra CT) instead of Continuing.

Please keep this in mind when looking at the Registration Status reports for Twin Cities and Duluth graduate students. The charts pictured below illustrate the jump in Intra CT registrations.

Morris, Crookston and Rochester campuses do not have Graduate programs, so they were not affected by this change.

Enrollment Data: Fall 2011 Released

Fall 2011 Data
The Fall 2011 Official Enrollment Statistics and New Freshman Characteristics data has been loaded. The Fall Enrollment Map and the Fall Student Enrollment Pivot reports also have the Fall 2011 data. All of these reports can be found in the student data section.

Enrollment Totals
University of Minnesota system: 69,221
Twin Cities: 52,557
Duluth: 11,806
Morris: 1,932
Crookston: 2,653
Rochester: 273

The enrollment reports have a much finer level of detail, along with the five-year trends for enrollment.

Enrollment Map Changes
The Fall Enrollment Map was updated last summer to show two new views of the student population, 1 Year Difference and 5 Year Difference. These offer a bit different piece of information than the default, normalized view, to see how the population of the University is evolving over time.

Highlight the Fall Enrollment Pivot Tool
TheFall Student Enrollment Pivot reports were created to enable our users to cross a few of our key variables which are reported separately on the Official Enrollment Reports. Take a look if you are hoping to find a finer detail level within variable sub-groups, for example Gender by Ethnicity Group.
