The 5.6 percent decrease includes an undergraduate decrease of six percent and a graduate student decrease of five percent. Total semester credit hours also decreased for undergraduates (five percent) and graduate students (seven percent).
In demographics, the Alpine campus was mostly undergraduate (71 percent), with a slight majority female (52 percent), and a slight majority of Hispanic origin (51 percent). New students made up more than a quarter of the student population (27 percent). While the majority of undergraduates were enrolled full-time (80 percent), the majority of graduate students were enrolled part-time (82 percent).
