This report provides only a general overview of instructional workload activity. These data should not be construed as basis for departmental comparison, or as representative of the instructional workload of individual faculty. Special procedures exist for imputing an FTE for temporary service faculty, contributed service staff, etc. Credit Value refers to the number of credit hours awarded through the course in progress toward a degree, certificate, or other formal award. Certain courses, including physical education, follow special rules for the assignment of credit value.
Enrollment is the number of students in the sections of a course.
Auditors and post-doctoral enrollees are excluded. FTE workload is a unit of measure derived from student credit hours. Generally, one FTE workload is equivalent to 15 student credit hours in undergraduate courses, or 12 student credit hours in graduate courses. Professional and doctoral students are subject to special detailed definitions. Thus, graduate courses may have higher studenUfaculty ratios than undergraduate courses.
