ABSTRACT
This statistical document from the University of Alaska
Anchorage provides charts and graphs regarding students and student
activities at the college and its community college campuses in the fall of
1999. Included is information on student headcount and credit hours, majors
by specific college within the university, credit hours by discipline, and
student head counts and majors at their branch campuses. Overall, at the main
campus, enrollment was down by 2% in fall 1999 from the previous fall. The
main campus had a total student head count of 11,733, of which 44% were full
time. Of the full-time students on the main campus, both males and females
were equally represented, but females were almost twice as likely to be
part-time students. Over the last 5 years the community and technical
colleges, the school of engineering, and the college of health, education,
and social welfare lost a substantial number of students. During the same
time period, the college of business and public policy and the college of
arts and sciences also lost:students but not to the same degree as the other
colleges at the university. Some of this loss in student head count can be
attributed to the 23% increase in students who were undeclared and therefore
not affiliated with a school or college.

NOTE:
1. Total UAA includes Anchorage, Kenai, Kodiak, Mat-Su, Military Programs, UALC (RD), and PWSCC.
2. Militaty Programs does not include Elmendorf AFB or Ft. Richardson.
3. Headcount includes students enrolled in credit courses at the 050 level and above, with auditors.
4. Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.
5. For this table, and all tables which include class standing, the following definition was used for first-time freshman:
Student admitted with an admit code of "FT" (first-time admitted), and having a student type of "F" (first-time enrolling),
or a student type of "C" (continuing enrollment)--for those continuing to Fall from Summer. The current semester is the
first time the student has ever attended an institution of higher education. Except, the student could have been first-time
in Summer semester and continued into Fall, and still be a first-time freshman. The current definition does not include
students who could be first-time freshmen if they are current high school graduates, even though they may have taken
courses for credit previously. A process for identifying these students has begun and future reports should include
this sub-group as well.
6. For this table, and all tables which include Alaska Region of Origin , the following definition was used:
Alaska Region of Origin determined by using the origin at entry (OE) address given by students at the time of enrollment.
For students who did not provide an OE address, the mailing address was used to determine origin at entry.
