While undergraduate enrollment at IUPUI declined by 163 students from last spring, the campus set a record for credit hours, reflecting a trend toward heavier course loads. IUPUI's total spring semester credit hours of 301,396 is a 0.9 percent increase over last spring.

Note: These figures reflect the general trend at universities for smaller spring enrollments. Spring and summer enrollment numbers primarily are kept for internal management purposes. However, for consistent representation, universities typically report fall enrollments as the official count for the entire year.
