Notes about the admission categories:

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 are 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. Only students coded as graduate students are included in this report
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.
Continuing student. Students who continue to be enrolled without needing to file a new application
for admission are counted as continuing students.
