Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The percentage of all entering students was calculated as the sum of commencing students attending campuses in the areas where activities were conducted (presence and mixed attendance mode only), and divided by the total number of commencing students (including off-shore students). EFTSL was used instead of headcount as headcount per campus and attendance mode data is not readily available.
