Important Notes

For all visualizations, crosslisted courses have been combined into the primary subject for the term. The underlying data displayed in student primary school or college was corrected to display the student's primary program as of Spring 2006 - 2007. Any term selected before Spring 2006-2007 has uncorrected data and will not display students' primary schools or college correctly, if this data exists in the view. In 'Course Enrollments by Plan', students are counted once for each plan in a term. For example, a student who has two majors and one certificate in a given term is counted three times for each class they are enrolled in that term. This enables drilling down to understand the course enrollments of students in a specific plan, but it also means that enrollment counts here will not match those from other, unduplicated counts elsewhere in this series of visualizations. In 'Low Enrollment Courses', definitions of low-enrollment courses may vary across schools and colleges. Cutoffs used in the visualization are taken from guidelines in the College of Letters and Science: see https://kb.wisc.edu/ls/page.php?id=21687 for more information.
