Last Revised 2/27/97
School of Law
This demographic profile provides student
headcount and FTE statistics by:
- ethnicity,
- age,
- religious preference,
- geographic origin,
- and marital status.
KEY
FT = Full-Time Headcount
PT = Part-Time Headcount
N = Total Headcount
Hours = Hours Attempted
FTE = Full-Time Equivalent
All statistics are based on 20th class day enrollment.
FTE is calculated as follows:
Full-Time Students - FTE = 1.0
Part-Time Students - FTE = Hours Attempted/Full-Time Load
Equivalent
FTE and Full-Time/Part-Time status are
calculated based on the following full-time load equivalents:
Spring Semester
12 credit hours
(10 credit hours for 3rd year students)
Summer Semester
6 credit hours
Fall Semester
12 credit hours
The Law School does not permit part-time enrollment. Some
full-time students may fall below full-time status in a
particular semester due to distribution of courses over a given
year with permission from the Dean. Some transient and other
special professional students may also fall below the full-time
credit hour level.
