What is full-time equivalent student enrollment?
The number of full-time equivalent students (FTES) for a term is derived by dividing total semester or quarter student credit hours attempted at a campus by 15. Annual full-time equivalent students are derived by either dividing total semester student credit hours for the academic year by 30 or total quarter student credit hours by 45. Summer Arts FTES are calculated by dividing total student credit units by 30. The FTES calculation adjusts headcount enrollment for differences associated with having skewed distributions of either part-time or full time students. If students at a campus attempt less than 15 student credit hours, on average, then FTE enrollment will be lower than headcount enrollment. And if students at a campus attempt more than 15 student credit hours, on average, then FTE enrollment will be higher than headcount enrollment. If students at a campus attempt 15 student credit hours, on average, then FTE enrollment and headcount enrollment will be the same. • What is the
