Methodological Notes

Three years later, even as the acute phase of the pandemic recedes, the enrollment dashboards will continue to be updated within the first two months of every term using the latest enrollment data available to highlight disparities in pandemic recovery across various subgroups of students, programs, institutions, states or regions. [...] As of fall 2021, institutions actively submitting enrollment data to the Clearinghouse account for 97 percent of all enrollments at Title IV, degree-granting institutions in the U. [...] To control for institutional coverage, only the institutions that submitted enrollment data across the three years 2021-2023 were included in the analyses. [...] In general, the difference between a 14 and a 23 designation lies in the share of degrees awarded at the associate degree level. [...] STATE-LEVEL DATA COVERAGE Forty-six states and the District of Columbia have sufficient data to show in the interactive maps on the data dashboards, with at least three institutions reporting and at least 10% enrollment coverage at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
