The General category of the University of West Florida's Fact Book is designed to provide additional information that overlaps various categories of information. In several cases, information is provided for reporting requests that encompass categories or topics that need to be viewed side by side for historical reasons. An example of this would be for Headcount Enrollment, Degrees Conferred and Accumulated and FTE information.
