Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Enrollment Methodology

Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Enrollment for a school for a semester is calculated by TICUA in the following manner:

Total FTE Enrollment = Undergraduate FTE + Graduate FTE + First Professional FTE

Undergraduate FTE = Total Undergraduate Student Credit Hours / 15

Graduate FTE = Total Graduate Student Credit Hours / 12

First-Professional FTE = Total First-Professional Student Credit Hours / 12

This method was chosen to agree with past TICUA surveys and records and due to the method used by IPEDS to calculate FTE enrollment.
