How often will the headcount be taken?
The headcount for FY2006 is based on a snapshot of HRIS data from June 2004, together with student registration data averaged over all of FY2004. In the future, NUIT will take quarterly snapshots of HRIS and student registration data and average them over the entire year. The headcount itself will remain retrospective; that is, the headcount for FY2007 rate planning will be based on current data from FY2005. This allows for actual, rather than projected, headcounts.
