Caveats

The item "IR Full-time/Part-time" in the CBIL Enrollment Report is calculated from all units progress, but the data point "IR Credits+Hours" in the excludes units progress in message courses and units progress in course with WN grades at the community colleges. In other words, full/part-time status is based on the billable credits rather than the credits that count towards FTEs. Therefore, the item "IR Full-time/Part-time" and the data point "IR Credits+Hours" may appear inconsistent when drilling down to student-level data.

In CUNYfirst, the field ACADEMIC_LOAD in the table CF_STDNT_CAR_TERM is comparable to the item "IR Full-time/Part-time" but excludes courses with withdrawals. Therefore, ACADEMIC_LOAD and "IR Full-time/Part-time" should have similar values at the beginning of the term, but may diverge as withdrawal grades accumulate.
