Section 2- New Students

The metrics in this section describe new students classified as eitherfull-time/first-time freshmen, undergraduate (external) transfers and new/first-time graduate students. New students exclude re-admit, re-entering, and internal transfers.

These metrics include numbers of applicants, admitted students, enrollment, admit and yield rates, and demographics such as race/ethnicity, geographic origin, gender and time status (full- or part-time).

Section 2 - 56 Section 2 - 57

DEFINITIONS

ACTIONABLE APPLICATIONS refer to the total number of applications that have fulfilled The New School’s requirements to be considered for admission and that have been assigned one of the following actions: admission, non-admission, placement on waiting list, or application withdrawn by applicant. An applicant may submit actionable applications to more than one school in the university; therefore, an applicant may have multiple actionable applications.

ADMITTED APPLICATIONS refers to the number of students offered admission to The New School. This includes students who deposited and withdrew at a later date or deferred enrollment to a later academic term.

ADMIT RATE refers to the number of admitted applications divided by the number of actionable applications.

CREDIT ENROLLMENT refers to headcount of students on the enrollment census date in the following award levels or categories: Associates, Bachelors, Masters, Doctoral, Diploma (undergraduate, graduate and extension), Credit Certificate, Maintenance of Status, Non-degree, General Credit, and Visiting students. Exclusions are: Non-credit Certificate, Withdraw/Leave students, and Study Abroad and Mobility Out students.

FULL-TIME / FIRST-TIME FRESHMAN refers to a student who has no prior postsecondary experience and is attending The New School for the first time at the undergraduate level. This includes students who: (1) are enrolled in academic or occupational programs; (2) are enrolled in the fall term who attended college for the first time in the prior summer term; and (3) entered with advanced standing (i.e. with college credits earned before graduation from high school).

NEW / FIRST-TIME GRADUATE refers to a student who may or may not have taken prior graduate-level classes but is new to The New School at the graduate-level.

NON-CREDIT ENROLLMENT refers to headcount of students who are enrolled in non-credit certificates or continuing education.

NON-RESIDENT ALIENS are non- U.S. Citizens who are studying at The New School on specific VISA types. They are often referred to as “International Students.”

RACE / ETHNICITY describes groups with which individuals identify themselves as belonging to. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. They are used to categorize U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible non-U.S. Citizens. Federal reporting requirements have been followed in aggregating and reporting this data.

STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS refer to those who self-reported as Hispanic/Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. Also included are those who identified themselves with two or more races.

STUDENT TIME STATUS described as either full-time or part-time refers to the proportion of time a student is enrolled in a given term, as measured by the number of credits a student is taking. The number of registered credits to be considered full-time or part-time differs for undergraduate and graduate students.

UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER STUDENT refers to a student entering The New School for the first time but known to have previously attended a postsecondary institution at the undergraduate level. The student may transfer with or without credit.

YIELD RATE refers to the number of students who enrolled after having been offered admission. It is calculated by dividing the number of new enrolled students by the number of admitted applicants.
