NOTE: Totals include students in private not-for-profit less-than-2-year institutions; sample size was too small to show as a separate category. Courses are self-reported by students during their first year. Institutions and administrative transcript records report higher rates of remedial coursetaking than do students. This table includes students enrolled at postsecondary institutions in Puerto Rico.
