Definition
Degree students are matriculated in degree-seeking programs. Nondegree students are enrolled in degree-credit courses, but not matriculated in degree-seeking programs.

Caveats
The primary driver in CUNYfirst for Degree Status is the field ACAD_PROG_PRIMARY in the table CF_STDNT_CAR_TERM, but if the field ACAD_PROG_PRIMARY is inconsistent with the field ACAD_CAREER, the student is defined as nondegree. Students for whom the field ACAD_PROG_PRIMARY is missing or unmapped are also defaulted to nondegree.
