The number of students enrolled in Part 1 of this credit is listed as 29,133. This number accounts for all full-time and part-time undergraduate students. Consistent with AASHE's note above on headcounts, this number excludes continuing education students and graduate students. The number reported in IC-3 is listed as 33,461 - which accounts for ALL UCI undergraduate and graduate students. UCI regularly administers the University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES), a longitudinal online census of all undergraduate students in the UC system. It is conducted during the spring quarter of even numbered years, and hosted by the UC Office of the President. All undergraduate students who are at least 18 years old are invited to participate. An important part of this survey is measuring the number of undergraduate students that participate in community service and the number of community service hours per student. At the Center for Assessment and Applied Research, UCUES data is the primary source for providing campus leaders with insight into the undergraduate student experience. UCUES results are consistently incorporated into the academic program review process, providing a comprehensive assessment of academic engagement, student satisfaction with instruction and advising, perceptions of campus climate, time allocation, and post-graduation plans. The response for this credit was derived from data in the 2016 UCI Campus Report. Additional student participation was established using data from the following programs for the 2015-2016 academic year for comparability to the above-referenced report.
