Fall 2012 Data
The Fall 2012 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 2012 data. All of these reports can be found in the student data section.

Source: Fall Enrollment Pivot Table by Term, Registration Status, Campus, Level
The enrollment reports have a much finer level of detail, along with the five-year trends for enrollment.
New Freshman Characteristics
The New Freshman Characteristics highlight a continued increase in the ACT scores of the Fall 2012 Freshman cohort. For the Twin Cities campus, the mean composite ACT score is 27.7 and the median score is 28. The mean score for the Fall 2002 cohort was 24.7. The College of Science and Engineering reported the highest college level composite ACT score mean of 30.6, followed closely by the College of Biological Sciences with 30.2 (Source). It should be noted that the High School Rank should be viewed cautiously as fewer values are submitted with students' applications than in the past (Over 35% missing for Twin Cities campus).
Enrollment Map Highlights
The Fall Enrollment Map was updated last summer to shows three views of the student population: Normalized by location, 1 Year Difference and 5 Year Difference. This tool can highlight some of the regional differences of the Institution versus a College. For example, viewing all Twin Cities campus understands map compared to College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) undergrads highlights the amount of rural county students attending CFANS compared to the Twin Cities metro area.
More on the Fall Enrollment Pivot Tool
The Fall 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. With the Fall 2012 release, we are able to provide five years of data on this report.

OIR/U Lib Student Success
The culmination of the first phase of a project integrating library usage data provided by the University Libraries with University records was presented last week at the Library Technology Conference hosted by Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. This project combined the Fall 2011 library usage data with demographics and aggregated student success metrics, included term GPA and retention data to quantify the impact of the University Libraries. Krista Soria and David Peterson from OIR provided initial analysis and Andrea Galliger provided institutional data.

Traffic Sources
This month the traffic split was 28% direct / 56% site referral / 16% search engines. Like last quarter, a large number of referrals arrive from the Campus Facts page on the umn.edu home page. The new homepage for the Office of Planning and Analysis contributed a large number of in-depth (consumed lots of content) visits. 11 Wikipedia articles referenced our enrollment reports, included the Turkish and Finnish language University of Minnesota articles.

New SERU site released
We are pleased to announce the release of seru.umn.edu. The site content is centered around the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) project, which is part of our overall U Matter student assessment strategy. This site is designed for students who are responding to the SERU survey, as well as staff, faculty and the entire University community, who will be promoting the survey and eventually using the survey results to inform decisions.
The site was developed by the Office of Institutional Research. The U Matter graphics were designed by the U Relations team, who also helped in designing the overarching brand for all of the survey communications.
Check the site for announcements about the survey. We will be publishing the 2012 response rates by College frequently after the survey has launched on March 20th, 2012.

For more details, visit the Common Data Set Initiative web site:
http://www.commondataset.org/
The Common Data Set (CDS) is a set of information whose content and definitons are agreed upon by data providers in the higher education community as well as publishers represented by the College Board, Peterson's, and U.S. News & World Report. These efforts are aimed at reducing the reporting burden on data providers while improving the accuracy of the information provided. An updated Common Data Set is produced once each academic year.

New 2011 Graduation Retention Report
We have now released the inaugural web based version of the Official University of Minnesota Graduation/Retention Report for first-time full-time new entering freshmen, using newly designed data warehouse tables. The report layout is essentially the same as in prior years, but a few minor content changes have been implemented that make some of the numbers slightly different than in the past. These differences are listed below.
A small number of students appear in more than one terms Official Enrollment Report table as a new freshman (NHS) or a new transfer (NAS). In previous reports, these students were included in multiple entry cohorts. Now, they are only represented once, based on the earliest entry term. This change will slightly reduce the size of some of the entering cohorts.
Graduates who are awarded multiple bachelors degrees from different campuses or colleges in the same term are now assigned a graduation status (e.g. Degree Entry Unit, Degree Other Unit, Degree Other Campus) with priority given to their entry campus or college. In the past the status was based on the first degree posted for that term. This change tends to slightly increase the number of Degree Entry Unit counts and decrease the number of Degree Other Unit counts.
Deceased students are now only included in the report if they were awarded a degree. If a degree was not awarded, they are excluded from the base cohorts. In the past, all new entering students were included regardless of deceased status. This is now in synch with Federal regulations.
These three basic changes result in some of the base cohort numbers and status numbers being different than in previous years reports. However these differences are relatively small and generally involve only a few students (less than 10 per cohort)
Please contact the Office of Institutional research if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
