The accompanying table
details the distribution of students taking 1-26 credits hours as of 1
Mar 02 separated by major. These data differs from the 26 Feb 02 data in
that the data are derived from registration information as of 1 Mar 02.
Unlike the 26 Feb 02 credit data, this table specifically excludes self-support
courses such as remedial math and english, ESL, and some dance, music and
PE courses. The 2nd column from the left, labelled "SS", contains those
students who are only registered for self-support courses. The four righthand
columns represent, respectively, the total number of students this term,
the number of students taking 17 or more credits this term, the percentage
of all students taking 17 or more credits this term, and, the percentage
of fulltime students (at least 12 credits) taking 17 or more credits this
term. The percentage figures do not include the data in the SS column in
the calculations. The main points of the table are: *
1) 23.68% of fulltime students are taking 17 or more credits this term
as of 01 Mar 02 (probably a larger percentage at the beginning of term);
3) many majors have 30% or more students taking 17 or more credits this
term.
N.B. This table does not include data from Honors College students. That
data can be found on a separate table.
