Noncredit Enrollment

The data reported below reflect the duplicated headcount of students enrolled in noncredit courses for which a fee has been paid and which can be documented through registrations or similar transactions. The unduplicated headcount is estimated to be approximately half the duplicated figure.

"Continuing education for the professions" includes noncredit offerings aimed at upgrading skills and maintaining licensure. These courses include those offered through the campus extended studies division as well as through individual academic departments.

"All other noncredit" enrollment includes, for example, programs aimed at youths and seniors; conferences; community education and personal development courses; and separate contracts between organizations and the OUS institution. Additional services provided by OSU Extension Service are not included here.
