Data Definitions
Student Privacy
To protect student privacy, the Utah Data Alliance (UDA) does not disclose data if cell sizes are smaller than 10. In some cases, none of the enrollment information is displayed because cell sizes are too small.
- Why is my district not displayed?
Because fewer than 10 students or all except 10 students attended any institution of higher education. - Why is my higher education institution not displayed?
Because fewer than 10 students attended your institution of higher education from the selected district or charter school.
Enrolled (Institution Suppressed)
Students are enrolled in an institution of higher education, but the specific institution is suppressed (not displayed) to protect student privacy.
