Notes:

1. Figures were obtained from the MITSIS system, which shows the final tally for each class.
2. The numbers shown are for undergraduate subjects which normally satisfy the HASS Requirement; they do not include
   subjects allowed by petition.
3. #Sections refers to the number of autonomous class sections; it does not apply to subjects which meet in a single lecture
   and divide into discussion sections.
4. For joint subjects, figures are given for the subject number under which students enrolled.

*Music and Theater Arts 6-unit performance subjects are not included in these statistics.
