¹Although the rows of this table are restricted to the United States, in order to calculate the number of students from each state or jurisdiction enrolled in a postsecondary institution, institutions in the other U.S. jurisdictions are included in this column. The other U.S. jurisdictions include American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Marshall Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

²The percent enrolled in the state or jurisdiction who are residents of the same state or jurisdiction is calculated as the number of residents of the state or jurisdiction enrolled in the same state or jurisdiction divided by the enrollment in institutions located in the state or jurisdiction (column 4/column 2).

³The migration of students columns refer to students whose permanent address at the time of application to the institution is located in a different state or jurisdiction than the institution. These columns do not indicate a permanent change of address has occurred.

⁴Migration into the state or jurisdiction may include students who are nonresidents, who are from the other U.S. jurisdictions, or who reside outside the state or jurisdiction and are enrolled exclusively in online or distance education programs. Migration into the state or jurisdiction does not include individuals whose state or jurisdiction of residence is unknown.

⁵The migration of students into the state or jurisdiction is calculated as the enrollment in institutions located in the state or jurisdiction minus residents of the state or jurisdiction enrolled in the same state or jurisdiction minus students of unknown residency enrolled in institutions located in the state or jurisdiction (column 2 - column 4 - column 6)

⁶The migration of students out of the state or jurisdiction is calculated as the residents of the state or jurisdiction enrolled in any state or jurisdiction minus residents of the state or jurisdiction enrolled in the same state or jurisdiction (column 3 - column 4).

⁷Net migration is the difference between the number of students entering the state or jurisdiction to attend school (into) and the number of students (residents) who leave the state or jurisdiction to attend school elsewhere (out of; column 7 - column 8). A positive net migration indicates more students coming into the state or jurisdiction than leaving to attend school elsewhere.

NOTE: Title IV institutions are those with a written agreement with the U.S. Department of Education that allows the institution to participate in any of the Title IV federal student financial assistance programs. United States includes the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The four U.S. service academies that are not Title IV eligible are included in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) universe because they are federally funded and open to the public and are included in this table. State or jurisdiction of residence is defined as the state or jurisdiction identified by the student as his or her permanent address at the time of application to the institution. Definitions for terms used in this table may be found in the collection year’s archived downloadable glossary located at https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/use-the-data/annual-survey-forms-packages-archived?year=2020.
