Notes about the admission categories: 1.New graduate student. A student who receives a baccalaureate degree from UNT and is admitted to UNT graduate school is coded as a new graduate student, as well as students coming from other institutions. The same applies to one who receives a master's degree from UNT and is admitted to a doctoral program. Occasionally in SIMS there is a coding contradiction with a student coded as a senior and as a "new graduate student." The contradiction occurs because the student filed to graduate in August, was provisionally admitted to graduate school as a "new graduate student," but did not actually graduate. The student was left coded as "senior" but the "new graduate student" admission code was not corrected in SIMS SRS. Only students coded as graduate students are included in the this report. 2.Returning former student. A student who drops out for one year or more must file an application for admission in order to return. Such a student is coded as a former student. 3.Continuing student. Students who continue to be enrolled without need to file a new application for admission are counted as continuing students. Source: SIMS files, official 12th-day data (N7SIMS2A: UP-115)
