effy: 12-Month Enrollment: EFFY

Description Data Layout Glossary

Description

This file contains the unduplicated head count of students enrolled over a 12-month period for both undergraduate and graduate levels.

These enrollment data are particularly valuable for institutions that use non-traditional calendar systems and offer short-term programs. Because this enrollment measure encompasses an entire year, it provides a more complete picture of the number of students these schools serve.

Data Layout

Each record is uniquely defined by the variables IPEDS ID (UNITID), and the level of enrollment (EFFYLEV). Each record will contain the total head count for men and women, and the total headcount for men and women for all nine race/ethnicity categories.
