The category "ethnic minorities" includes all ethnic groups, with permanent resident foreign nationals counted within the ethnicity groups (but not the non-resident aliens). Graduation data are for students who graduated from UNT; the unknown number who transferred to other institutions and graduated from there are included in the "did not return" groups. Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. Source: SIMS official 12th-day data (N8TRK3D:TRK-521C, TRK-521B)
