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. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in w hich at least one degree- seeking under graduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning 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, anda ll students in one- on- one classes. Each class 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 c ourse, 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 undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit c lasses and individual instru ction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one- to-one r eadings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross -listin gs. Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2023. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs 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 class subsections table.
