** Beginning in Fall 1999, the use of program codes to indentify students pursuing careers in elementary and secondary education was discontinued and replaced with the 59 major code for elementary education and an 'E' extension to a student's Liberal Arts and Science major code for secondary  education (TEP). Beginning in Fall 1999, secondary education enrollments are the sum of the counts for the Liberal Arts and Science 'E' majors. Unduplicated School Totals: Students who has double majors in the school of Arts and Sciences will only be counted once.

Race/ethnicity is imputed for any student  who is missing race/ethnicity data by CUNY Central Administration as single question category. As of Fall 2010, it is mandatory (by US Dept. of Ed guidance) to report race/ethicity in a new 2 question format which indicates Hispanic origins of respondents (question 1) and their racial background (question 2).We plan to use CUNY standard imputation for any student who is missing race/ethnicity data for both the old 1question and the new 2 question formats. According this imputation strategy, CUNY will also impute for any student who answered the 2 question questions and whose responses indicate identification with more than one race/ethnicity.  That is, for someone who said Hispanic Yes, and indicated one or more races on the second question, a single category for that person will be imputed using standard imputation methodology.For someone who said Hispanic No, and indicated two or more races in the second question, those will also be imputed into a single category.  The only exception is that for students who answered No to the Hispanic question and selected 1. Asian and 2. Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and no other races, it will be considered as reporting a single race (Asian/Pacific Islander).
