Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Much of this data came from this resource:
https://www.potsdam.edu/about/administrative-offices/office-institutional-effectiveness/campus-statistics
and
https://www.potsdam.edu/about/administrative-offices/office-institutional-effectiveness/quick-facts

Note from our director of Institutional Effectiveness Office:
"Our FTE is always higher than our headcount. When I first started here, I thought that was odd. It turns out that we have a significant number of students taking OVER a full-time load, especially our Crane [School of Music] students. This makes our FTE higher. Additionally, only about 5% of our students are part-time so that is not a significant part of our student body."
