* Note: Beginning Summer 2004, a new query was developed that actually counts the number of students in active courses and the number of instructors and TAs in active courses. Some people could be counted in multiple roles as instructors, TAs, and students so the number of instructors is calculated as Total Unique Users less Total Unique Students.
