What is the difference between unduplicated and duplicated headcount?

In the unduplicated headcount a student is counted one time regardless of the number of majors in which the student is enrolled. In the duplicated headcount a student is counted once for each major in which the student is enrolled. For example, if a student is an English and Spanish major, the student is counted once in the unduplicated headcount. However, the student is counted twice (once for each major) in the duplicated headcount.

What is an academic award?

Not all reports will have this functionality.

Are reports available for download?

Why am I not seeing data where I expect to see data?

There are a number of reasons why you may not be seeing the data that you expect to see in a report. The most common reason is that data may not be available for the combination of filters that you have applied to the report. Similarly, FACTS is designed to present information for the most current time period (term or fiscal year) available as the default view. Data for certain time periods, summer term for example, may be sparser than other time periods. In situations like this it may be necessary to filter to an earlier term if no data is available for the default term. Note that in the case of Preliminary Reports, once the report is made “Final” following census, the preliminary report will be de-activated until the start of the next reporting period.
