Report Was In Error: Freshman Enrollment Did Not Decline 5% Last Fall [ Forbes ]
The flava:
The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center today released the following statement from Executive Director Doug Shapiro about an error that affected the freshman enrollment data in its October preliminary fall enrollment report:“The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center has identified a methodological error affecting its calculation of freshman enrollment in the preliminary enrollment report released in October 2024. That report, called the Stay Informed Report, is based on data provided by 50 percent of higher education institutions. The error in research methodology caused the mislabeling of certain students as dual-enrolled rather than as freshmen, and as a result, the number of freshmen was undercounted, and the number of dual-enrolled was overcounted. The error also affected the Special Analysis of 18-year-old Freshmen report released in November.”
