What is a matriculation date?

A matriculation date is the date that a student begins enrollment as a degree seeking student.

What is the census date?

The census date is set by the university and marks the end of the add/drop period for a term. On this day, the university takes a “snapshot” of the enrollment which becomes the official enrollment that is used for both state reporting and deletion of unpaid registrants. The census date is the 12th class day for the fall and the spring terms. Census dates in the summer vary according to the length of the different summer sessions within the term. Please refer to the academic calendar for your program of study for the specific census dates.
