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

  • One USF Quick Facts → The tab displays the One USF headcount information at a glance for any given term. The driver for this tab is Semester and Term filters. Term filter is dependent on the Semester filter.  This report will be blank, when the Semester filter and Term filter are out of sync. The visuals on this page has headcount information:

  • Trend 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. It is an Accountability plan metric.
  • Pell & Access Rate → This tab displays the Pell & Access Rate of enrolled undergraduate students in Fall semesters only. The methodology for calculating Access Rate for this tab is dividing the number of Pell recipients by Pell eligible student for students who are enrolled in Fall Semester. 
    • By college and department
    • By campus
    • By gender
    • By race/ethnicity
    • By residency
    • By self-reported first generation students
    • 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).
