Census Study

Enrollment Reports: Census Study

Alert: All the data within the census study can now be found within the Enrollment Point-in-Cycle (PIC) report. This report will be phased out as of June 1, 2025. Please let us know if there are any concerns.

The Census Study report tracks headcounts and credit hours enrolled on a daily basis from the start of classes until mid-semester with comparisons to previous year first day and census.

Starting in Fall 2017, Census Study is available as a Tableau workbook. Click on the image to the right to access. Prior year Census Study are available via PDF.

Historical Census Study PDF Reports

Each of the PDF reports have a similar format. The top portion provides the running enrollment figures. The middle section of the report becomes active only after the census date to show how the current day’s enrollments compare to the “official” census day numbers. The other comparisons show the relevant number and the percent change between that benchmark and the current day total.

Headcount is the count of enrolled students. Dual career students within the same campus are counted only once. In the PDFs only, IU-Indianapolis enrollment represents a duplicated count because of the dually enrolled students (students enrolled at both Indianapolis and Columbus campuses).
