Headcount Reports is a set of following reports:
Headcounts By Semester
Headcount reports provide headcount information for 10 years at the latest benchmark for every semester. These reports enable leadership to visualize, slice and dice the data and facilitate with strategic planning.
Headcounts By Semester - All Benchmarks
Headcount All Benchmarks provide headcount information for all the benches for the past 5 years for every semester.
Annual Unduplicated Headcounts
This report captures the “unduplicated” headcount for the AY. i.e. the students are counted once within the AY. The status of the student (e.g., part-time or full-time, undergraduate or graduate) is determined using the first term of enrollment – Fall, Spring or Summer in that order.
If a student is enrolled in the Fall term, their enrollment status from the Fall term is reflected (e.g., part-time or full-time, undergraduate or graduate etc.). For students not enrolled in Fall but enrolled in Spring are defaulted to their Spring status. If the student enrolls only in the summer and at no other time during the academic year, then the summer term is used to determine the student's status.
This methodology aligns with the IPEDS reporting for “unduplicated” headcount on the 12 month Enrollment survey.
Academic Program Review - Headcounts
These reports were specifically designed to provide headcount information about individual programs to be used in Academic Program Review and/or Programmatic Accreditation. These reports are academic year based reports. Additional documentation for these reports can be found here: Academic Program Review - Student Data Dashboards - Office of Decision Support - Confluence (atlassian.net).
Data Source: SID
Refresh schedule: Data is refreshed for all three semesters for all four benchmarks. The “Data as of” field on the bottom right of the page indicates when the data was last refreshed from SID database. The "Data updated" field on the top of the report indicates when the report was last published. These two dates are often different because a report update could be change in visuals or navigation etc. and not necessarily a data refresh.
Headcounts By Semester
- Quick Facts: USF → The tab displays a summary of the USF headcount information on the latest benchmark for any given term. It utilizes the Term filter(Spring, Summer, or Fall)for each year. The visuals on this page display the headcount information:
- By college
- By campus
- By full-time indicator
- By gender
- By race/ethnicity
- By residency
- By student type and New/Returning students (click the + sign in the matrix table to expand student level)
- Quick Facts: College Level → This tab displays a summary of headcount information categorized by Department and Student Type. It features a Headcount chart with a slicer to toggle amongst various filters, including Campus, Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Residency, Student Classification, and Full-time/Part-time status, for any selected term for any college. Additionally, filter for CIP is available for more detailed insights. The visuals on this page display the headcount information:
- By campus
- By department
- By full-time/part-time indicator
- By gender
- By race/ethnicity
- By residency
- By student classification
- By student type and New/Returning students (click the + sign in the matrix table to expand student level)
- Quick Facts: Pell & Access Rate → The tab displays the Pell and Access Rate of enrolled undergraduate students categorized by Access Rate and College. It features a Headcount chart with a slicer to toggle amongst various filters, including College, Gender, Residency, Race/Ethnicity, Student Type, and Campus, for any selected term within Fall semesters only. It shows data for one term at a time. Pell is assigned in the Fall term for the whole year and lags by one year. For example, Fall 2024 data will be available around November 2025.
The Access Rate is calculated by dividing the number of Pell recipients by the number of Pell-eligible students for those enrolled in the Fall semester. The visuals on this page provide Pell & Access Rate information:- By college
- By access rate
- By campus
- By gender
- By race/ethnicity
- By residency
- By student type
The Access Rate Visual on this page is special visual. Access Rate Visual is locked for the "Pell Eligible = Yes" and and "Pell Recipient = All" population. This visual has help ? enabled so if you hover over the visual, you can have more information about the Access Rate.
Access Rate is accountability plan metric and below is the methodology for Accountability Plan:
Access Rate calculation per BOG: The Access Rate is based on data from the enrollment table on the Student Instruction File (SIF), and the Awards table on the Student Financial Aid (SFA) file.
a. Numerator: The students from Financial Aid Awards table who received a Pell Grant ( award_prog_id='001' ) during the Fall term ( award_payment_term= 'yyyy08' ). BOG excludes non‐resident aliens (#2043 = ‘Y’) from both the numerator and denominator for this metric.
To determine Pell eligibility, in addition to demonstrating financial need, the US Dept. of Education considers other factors such as the student must be a US citizen or an eligible
noncitizen. There are a few exceptions whereby non‐resident aliens can receive a Pell grant.
b. Denominator: All degree‐seeking undergraduate (both lower and upper divisions) students enrolled in the Fall term. Exclude unclassified students (student_class_level=‘N’) and post‐baccalaureate students (stu_recent_adm_typ= 'P') from the denominator because these students are not eligible for a Pell grant.
The IPEDS methodology to generate their percentage of under‐graduates who received a Pell grant is different and is based on preliminary (SIFP) data.
a. Numerator: It is based on the number of students who received a Pell grant anytime during a particular academic year.
b. Denominator: It is based on the students enrolled during the Fall term – including unclassified students who are not seeking a degree and therefore not eligible for financial aid. The IPEDS Financial Aid survey imports the total headcount denominator from their Fall Enrollment survey which is at the time of preliminary data (SIFP).
- Trends → The tab displays the headcount trend of degree-seeking students by term and campus for the selected semester(Spring, Summer, or Fall). It includes slicers to toggle amongst Student Level, Student Type, Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Residency, Campus, Strategic Emphasis (Old and New).
- Trend by Semester → The tab displays a ten-year trend of graduate and undergraduate student headcounts by semester, with the default setting for degree-seeking set to "Y"(Yes).
- Trend by College → The tab displays a ten-year trend of student headcounts by college, for selected semester(Spring, Summer, or Fall). It shows data for one semester at a time.
- Details by Accountability Plan Student Type → The tab displays the headcount trend of degree-seeking students by Accountability Plan student type and student level in a tabular format, for Fall semesters only. This is an Accountability Plan metric.
- Additional Views → The tab displays the summary of headcounts by the term and student level(Undergraduate & Graduate). It includes slicers to toggle amongst college, campus and student type, student level and race/ethnicity, and race/ethnicity and gender for the selected semester(Fall, Spring or Summer).The default setting for degree-seeking is set to "Y"(Yes).
