Note: Enrollment in 1998 through 2003 includes students who were only auditing classes; enrollment for 2004 and later excludes the headcount of students who were only auditing classes as these students cannot be reported to the Arkansas Department of Higher Education as part of the official enrollment counts. For trend purposes, the students who were only auditing classes are eliminated from the breakdowns of enrollment figures.
