Degree-granting institutions report the outcomes of degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who are not only first-time, full-time students, but also part-time attending and non-first-time (transfer-in) students. The award status is measured at specific points in times. For students that did not receive an award after 8 years, the enrollment status is reported.
