What students are included in the count for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates?
Include students attending any institution for the first time at the undergraduate level, including students enrolled in the fall term who attended college for the first time in the prior summer term. Also include students who entered with advanced standing (college credits earned before graduation from high school). This number should match the Fall Enrollment reported in the spring or winter collection cycle. This is also the cohort for the Graduation Rates survey that is reported in the spring collection.
