Making sure BGSU students are counted correctly for the census
The U.S. Census Bureau has begun conducting the 10-year census count. With the novel coronavirus pandemic and Bowling Green State University’s proactive response to slow the spread by moving to an online learning environment and closing residence halls for the remainder of the Spring semester, there is some confusion about the census and how University students are counted.

The Census Bureau maintains that where a University student lives for the majority of the 2019-2020 academic year is where they should still be counted. Students who live in the residence halls will be counted by the University as part of the “group quarters” category. Students who live off-campus (largely rental apartments or houses) are still responsible for filling out the census form. The University is communicating with off-campus students on how to fill it out. It is also critical that Faculty and Staff also are counted for the census.

For more information on the census, check out the frequently asked questions page on the BGSU Census 2020 website. For questions about the census, please contact the Division of Diversity and Belonging at 419-372-7100 or diversity@bgsu.edu.
