NAME: Admission-type
SHORT NAME: adm_type
LENGTH: 1
TYPE: A
SOURCE OF DATA: Campus extract
SIMS SOURCE FILE: SIMSAPP, SIMSBASE
DEFINITION / CODES: Student's status at the time of application or admission. The values in this field are similar to those for registration status, but unlike the latter, this field is not subsequently updated. Rather, it remains static until the student re-applies for admission.

Generally speaking, when a student applies for admission to the fall or spring semester, admission type is "first-time", "transfer" or "returning". If an enrolled student re-applies to the same campus for admission in the following semester, admission type would be "continuing". Otherwise, admission type remains "first-time", "transfer" or "returning". Some exceptions to this are as follows:

  • When a student changes academic level (from undergraduate to graduate or vice versa), admission type will be re-started and previous attendance (regardless of whether or not there is a break in enrollment) will be disregarded in determining admission type.
  • When a student changes from regular to special student (concurrent, early admit, auditor), or vice versa, admission type will be re-started.
  • When a student applies for admission in the summer, and must also apply for admission in the fall, admission type will be re-started.
F First time
  • An undergraduate enrolling for the first time, never having previously enrolled at any other college or university campus except as an early admit or for summer session.
  • A non-degree graduate student enrolling for the first time at the graduate level.
  • A degree-seeking graduate student enrolling for the first time in a graduate degree program.
  • Also used if unable to determine whether the student's previous work was at the graduate level.
T Transfer
  • An undergraduate enrolling at a campus, having previously attended another college or university.
  • An undergraduate re-enrolling after an absence of one or more fall or spring semesters, having attended another collge or university in the interim.
  • A graduate student enrolling at the graduate level, having previously attended another (i.e., non-UH) graduate school.
  • A graduate student who already received at least one graduate degree at another (i.e., non-UH) graduate school or university, and is applying for another graduate degree (i.e., PD to Masters, Masters to PhD, PhD to MD, Masters to Masters), or is applying for unclassified (non-degree) graduate status.

    Note: For an undergraduate student who already received at least one degree and is applying for another degree at the same degree level (i.e., associate to associate, bachelors to bachelors), use "S" or second degree.
R Returning
  • An undergraduate student returning after an absence of at least one fall or spring semester without having attended another college or university (except summers or adult extension classes) in the interim.
  • A graduate student returning after an absence of at least one fall or spring semester, who is applying for a change in field to another graduate program without having attended another graduate school or university (except summers or adult extension classes) in the interim.
  • A graduate student who already received at least one graduate degree from the campus, was absent at least one fall or spring semester, and is applying for unclassified (non-degree) graduate status, at the same campus.
C Continuing
  • An undergraduate student who has not yet received a degree, was enrolled during the preceding fall or spring semester, and is applying for either another undergraduate degree program, or for unclassified undergraduate status.
  • A graduate student currently enrolled in a graduate program, who was enrolled during the preceding fall or spring semester, and is applying for either a change in field to another graduate program, or for unclassified (non-degree) graduate status.

    Note: At some campuses, students are not required to submit another application to the second program, so in these cases, the student's original admission type would not change.
S Second degree
  • An undergraduate student who already received at least one undergraduate degree, and is applying either concurrently or sequentially for another undergraduate degree at the same degree level, at the same campus (i.e., from an associate to an associate, baccalaureate to baccalaureate).
  • A graduate student currently enrolled in a graduate program, a first-professional program, or a professional diploma program, who is applying for another graduate program.
  • A graduate student who is applying for two different graduate programs at the same time (i.e., Nursing and Public Health).
  • A student who completed a graduate or first-professional degree at the University of Hawai‘i, and is applying for another graduate or first-professional degree.

    Note: Second degree includes "concurrent", "PhD", and "second degree", used by the Graduate Division at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.

LENGTH: 4

SOURCE OF DATA: Campus extract (SIMSACF), SIMS derived (SIMSSOCAD, SIMSSOCEX)
SIMS SOURCE FILE: SIMSACF, SIMSSOCAD, SIMSSOCEX
DEFINITION / CODES: Indicates how a pair or group of classes are associated or connected. One class is designated as the primary class, the other is designated as the secondary class. A primary class along with its secondary class or classes is called a set.

For a given primary class, there may be multiple secondary classes which may have different types of associations with the primary class. A secondary class in a set may be modular with the primary class, while another secondary class may be concurrent with the same primary class.

Rules and assumptions:
  1. A class cannot be both a primary and secondary class.

  2. A secondary class may have only one primary class.

  3. If a set has more than one type of association, reporting adjustments will be made in the following priority order: modular, concurrent, cross-listed.

  4. If a set has more than one type of association, one of which is modular, the modular class must always be the primary class.
Conc Concurrent. An association is concurrent if the primary class and the secondary class have the same course alpha, and are concurrently taught. Both classes are offered at the same time, in the same location (unless offered via distance education), and are taught by the same instructor, but enroll different students. In some instances the classes are unique, but in other instances such as in distance education, the classes are the same. Usually only two classes are concurrently taught as a set, the primary and secondary class, but there may be more than one secondary class.

Reporting adjustments for each set of concurrent classes:

Class count Only the primary class is counted.
Course count If classes are the same, only the primary class is counted, else each class in the set is counted.
Equivalent sem hrs Only semester hours for the primary class are counted.
Adjusted sem hrs Only semester hours for the primary class are counted.
Adjusted regs Sum of registrations (regs) in each class. Counted with the primary class.
Adjusted SSH Sum of SSH (student semester hours) in each class. Counted with the primary class.

Classes in a concurrent set may also be reported separately as appropriate.

Mod Modular. A modular association is the association between or among a sequence of integrated or affiliated classes which are less than a semester's duration. For instance, a modular class can be a piece of a larger, parent class. Traditionally, it's a 3- or 4-credit class that is broken into 3 or 4 "segments" of less than a semester's duration and meeting for less than the usual 2,250 minutes of instructional class time required for a 3-credit lecture course or a 1-credit lab course. (See definition of semester-hour for additional information.) A modular class may also be part of a set of classes with closely connected or related topics.

If there is a modular association between or among classes, a modular class must be designated as the primary class.

Reporting adjustments for each set of modular classes:

Class count Only the primary class is counted.
Course count Only the primary class is counted.
Equivalent sem hrs Sum of semester hours (shr) of each modular class in the set. Counted with the primary class.
Adjusted sem hrs Sum of semester hours (shr) of each modular class in the set. Counted with the primary class.
Adjusted regs Registrations (regs) in each class are apportioned according to the class' proportion of its set or parent class, then summed and rounded to a whole number. Counted with the primary class.

aregs = (acp_mod_% × regs) + (acs_mod_% × regs)
100 100

Adjusted SSH SSH in each class are summed and counted with the primary class

XL Cross-listed. A cross-listed association indicates the primary and secondary class are offered (or cross-listed) under different course alphas. Both listings refer to the same course, i.e. PLAN 636 cross-listed as ARCH 687 is one class taught by the same instructor at the same time. Some students are taking it as PLAN 636, while others are taking it as ARCH 687.

Reporting adjustments for each set of modular classes:

Class count Only the primary class is counted.
Course count Only the primary class is counted.
Equivalent sem hrs Only semester hours for the primary class are counted.
Adjusted sem hrs Only semester hours for the primary class are counted.
Adjusted regs Sum of registrations (regs in each cross-listed class in the set. Counted with the primary class.
Adjusted SSH Sum of SSH in each cross-listed class in the set. Counted with the primary class.

Classes in a cross-listed set may also be reported separately as appropriate.
