Operative words

Overall postsecondary enrollments declined 2.5 percent in fall 2020, nearly twice the rate of enrollment decline reported in fall 2019... Undergraduate enrollment was the primary driver for this decline, decreasing 3.6 percent or over 560,200 students from 2019... The first-time student enrollment decline of 13.1 percent (or over 327,500 students) over last fall is unprecedented.
