The 1983 annual report of the State University of New York presents major statistical tables that array four student characteristics: age group, sex, level (undergraduate/graduate), and load (full- and part-time). Part 1 contains summary data for the entire system and each institution within the system. For each of the headcount tables, there is a corresponding table providing percent distribution arrays of the headcount data. Part 2 contains headcount and percentage arrays of students by age group for each institution and institution type. Tables are presented for undergraduates, graduates, and first-time students by load. Part 3 contains summarized historical trend data on all students from fall 1977 through fall 1983. In addition, trend data are grouped into section by level (undergraduate/graduate/first-time), and each level includes both headcount and percentage distributions for total, full-time, and part-time students. Additionally, age and sex trend data are displayed by level and load indexed to fall 1976. Two age groups are used to profile this trend data: those under 24 and those age 25 and over. Finally, tables show change and percent of change in the age and sex trends by level and load from fall 1978. (SW)
