*New freshman registrants in this table are students who are considered as having come directly from high school, without having accrued substantial college credits. Students who are considered to have come from another college or university are transfer students. In this context, the standard class level categories of freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior, do not apply. *The Vietnamese/Vietnamese-American* ethnic category was first used in the fall 1996 application form. Before fall 1996, Vietnamese students were included in the Other Asian category. ***Fall 2005 counts include Katrina hurricane students.
