CALES Student and Enrollment Snapshots

Information

Purpose

View snapshots of student and enrollment counts over time by unit, plan, and career for all students with a CALES major, specialization, pre-major, certificate, or minor.

The prompts are set to default to Primary Major Plan Flag = 'Y', Enrolled in Term Flag = 'Y', and Plan Type Code = 'MAJ','PRP','SP', consistent with Census Trends data in Analytics.

There are several adjustments on this report that are made for internal program management purposes:

  1. The following plans are included under the 'CALES Aligned' plan source filter. These plans have a "*" next to them:
    1. Non-Degree Seeking students at the NWAFU campus are included in the ENVS count.
    2. Include GIDP plans for ENTO and the Arid Lands PhD for SNRE.
    3. GISTBS are included under SNRE.
    4. Plant Studies under Applied Humanities has been added to SPLS.
  2. BEBSBE has changed colleges in the past. We are including the plan here, regardless of college home.
  3. Some plans/students have '-' listed as their campus or location. We've looked into the plan information in Student to update to the most likely campus.

Follow up items:

  • Students in Accelerated MS programs don't have the Accelerated sub-plan due to a change in their admissions process.

Update Schedule

This dashboard is to be updated after census, end of term, and end of fiscal year.

Last update to data: Updated for Spring Census 2026; Next update will be Spring Term End.

NOTE: NWAFU students are not enrolled at the beginning of the fall term prior to Fall 2024.

Three Different Ways to Count Students

  • 1. Primary Major Count (Default)

    Why is this used? This is the standard way of reporting Census counts. While it excludes students with secondary majors, it is used to determine the base student population for CALES.

    How to use it? This dashboard defaults to using Primary Major Counts.

  • 2. Student Headcount

    Why is this used? Used for determining the entire student population without counting any individual multiple times.

    How to use it? Set the Primary Major filter to "All." This shows a "distinct" (unique) count. Note: Students may appear under the first Plan that appears in the report, and totals may not sum up mathematically because unique students aren't duplicated in the top-level total.

  • 3. Plan Count

    Why is this used? Used for counting every student within every Plan they hold. This shows the full population for every Plan and Subplan combination.

    How to use it? This dashboard does not currently provide a Plan count. In this method, totals do add up because a student with two majors is counted twice.

Programs and Minors

Program mappings for minors are currently being developed.
