1)  What do you consider those students who take a summer class prior to
their actual fall enrollment?

They are new students, but since we do not have to report them to anyone, it causes no problems.


2)  Are these students counted in your fall enrollment numbers?

Yes, they are new freshmen in the fall and reported as such on IPEDS.  This is according to IPEDS directions and guidelines.

3)  How are they tracked with regards to graduation cohorts?

They are part of the entering new freshman cohort if they are full-time in the fall.
