Und erg raduat e C lass Siz e In the t ab le below , please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2024 term. Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. U ndergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree- s eeking under graduate student is enrolled for cred it. Exclude distance learn in g classes and noncredit classes and ind iv idu al instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one- to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-oper ative programs, internships , foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one- on- one classes. Each c lass section s hould be counted only once and should not be duplic ated because of course catalog cross-listings. Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree- seeking undergr aduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thes is research, music instruction, or one- to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross -listin gs. Using th e above d efinit ions, please rep ort f or e ach of th e fo llow ing class-size int ervals t he nu mber of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2024. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate la bs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+” column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20- 29” column of the c lass subsections table.
