#Rounds to zero.

!Interpret data with caution (estimates are unstable).
|
‡Reporting standards not met (too few cases).
|
1Institutions were asked the average length of time their students spent enrolled in remedial courses and were given the following choices: less than 1 year (e.g., 1 semester or 2 quarters), 1 year, or more than 1 year.
|
2Data from private not-for-profit and for-profit institutions are reported together because there are too few private for-profit institutions in the sample to report them separately.
|
NOTE: Data reported for fall 2000 are based on Title IV degree-granting institutions that enrolled freshmen in 2000. Data reported for fall 1995 are based on degree-granting institutions that enrolled freshmen in 1995. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and not reporting where there are too few cases for a reliable estimate.
