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.
5. HASS-D Language Option subjects (Level III or IV languages) are included in the HASS-D figures.
Music and Theater Arts 6-unit performance subjects are not included in these statistics.
