*Total Headcount has duplicated numbers as students can be identified as being part of multiple special populations. This causes the total to be unequal to the total enrollment seen other tables.

Academically Disadvantaged: Students are reported as academically disadvantaged based on TASP/THEA or a local placement test and do not have college entry level skills in reading, writing, or math. Students who are enrolled in remedial courses based on the results of TASP/THEA or local placement tests.

Limited English Proficiency (LEP): All students who enroll in LEP courses or who were determined, based on a local placement test, to be Limited English Proficient. Programs to Eliminate Gender Bias: Technical programs with more than 75% of one gender in a single program. Displaced Homemaker: Self‐reported or students who receive special federally funded or state‐funded assistance because they are displaced homemakers and students who receive special services through a Perkins Coordinator may be reported in this category.

Dorm Occupancy South Plains College no longer has a waiting list for dorm rooms and instead guarantee students a place and

assign them to overflow housing (3 beds per room). In Fall 2016 there were an average of 20 men and 20

women placed into overflow housing prior to check‐in. After check‐in at the beginning of the semester that

number was reduced to 12 women and 7 men who were placed in overflow during move‐in week. Students

are moved from overflow housing as rooms become available.
