Enrollment figures for the University of Nebraska for the fall 2005 semester are somewhat more positive than originally reported, due to some shifts in how students at the Kearney campus were classified.

The new figures do not differ in total enrollment, but show an increase of 6.1 percent in first-time freshman (this was originally reported as 5.1 percent).

A complete enrollment report, by campus, is attached. The report shows headcount enrollment by campus, by residency status and by undergraduate/graduate status. It also shows credit hour enrollment by campus (an increase of 1.7 percent compared to 2004), and enrollment on each campus by individual college.

Statistics for each campus can be found at http://www.nebraska.edu/news/facts_enrollment2005.pdf.
