NOTE: What is a Fiscal Year? The State of Maryland and the University System of Maryland report fiscal activity from July 1 through June 30 of the following year, known as a fiscal year. The fiscal year is known by the calendar year in which it ends. Thus, fiscal year 2017 began July 1, 2016, and ended June 30, 2017. Common abbreviations are FY or just "fiscal." Fiscal year enrollment is calculated as the average of the fall and spring enrollment by attendance status and residency for each program. Because it is calculated this way, fiscal year headcount for the entire University or a particular program is not necessary the average of the fall and spring enrollments.
