Enrollment

This section concerns enrollments as of the official fall census date. Data are included for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. To present a detailed picture of enrollment patterns, data are provided for each of the undergraduate colleges by class level. The enrollments in the professional schools are shown in aggregate and by school. The enrollments of graduate students are shown in aggregate and by division (endowed/contract). A distinction has been made between total registration and total on-campus full-time enrollment throughout this section.

The sources of all enrollment data are the University Registrar, the Graduate School’s series of fall registration reports, and Medical Division’s Registrar.

These students have been removed from all Cornell enrollment statistics (above) and are reported here:
