Karen,
Thanks for your reply. Unduplicated headcount for each fall term would be great.
And yes, for "full time enrollment data," I'm looking for full time equivalent (FTE) data.
Thanks very much!

Hello,
Thanks very much for your response. In the "MuckRock FOIA All Fall Headcount" file I only see years from AY 2017-2018 - AY 2019-2020. Would it be possible to also send me the headcount data for all academic years from AY 2000-2001 to AY 2016-2017?

You can see the other years if you scroll to the left within that MS Excel workbook. There is a sheet for each year from 2000 through 2020.
