Semester credit hours generated from each course are assigned to one cell based on course CIP code and level. 12-Cell Matrix of Instructional Level and Disciplinary Instructional Areas CIP Program Title 09 23 27 38 42 43 45 54 Communications English Language and Literature/Letters Mathematics Philosophy and Religion Psychology Protective Services Social Sciences and History History 13 Education 16 19 30 31 Foreign Languages and Literatures Home Economics Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies Parks, Recreation, Leisure and Fitness Studies 52 Business Management and Administrative Services 03 11 15 26 40 44 50 Conservation and Renewable Natural Resources Computer and Information Sciences Engineering-Related Technologies Biological Sciences/Life Sciences Physical Sciences Public Administration and Services Visual and Performing Arts 51 Health Professions and Related Sciences 14 Engineering Funding Category 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 WCU Course Prefix CMCR, CMEM, CMHC, CMPM, CMPR, CMTD ENGL MATH PAR PSY CJ ANTH, ASI, GEOG, PSC, SOC HIST BK, CDS, COUN, CSP, EDAD, EDCD, EDCI, EDEL, EDHE, EDL, EDMG, EDPY, EDRD, EDSE, EDSU, ELMG, SPED CHER, FREN, GER, JPN, RUSS, SPAN CDFR, CFS, CTM, FCS, FS, HT ASI, GERN, USI HEAL, PE, PRM, SM ACCT, BA, ECON, ENT, FIN, HR, IBUS, LAW, MBA, MGT, MKT, PM ES, NRM CIS, CS CM, ECET, ET, ID, IET, IT, MET, TEL BIOL, SCI AST, CHEM, GEOL, PHYS EMGT, PA, SOCW ART, CMTA, DA, IDES, MUS ATTR, CLS, EMC, ENVH, HEAL, HIA, HSCC, MHS, ND, NSG, RTH, PT ENGR Funding Category (CIP Codes) Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 3 3 3 3 4 Student Credit Hours (SCH) per Instructional Position Undergraduate Masters 708.64 169.52 535.74 303.93 406.24 186.23 232.25 90.17 Doctoral 115.56 110.16 109.86 80.91 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT STUDENTS - The number of students determined by adding the number of full-time students and a proportion of the part-time students. The full-time equivalent (FTE) student number in the University of North Carolina is determined by the following formula: UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATE FTE STUDENT LOAD FTE STUDENT LOAD 1.00 12 or more credit hours 1.00 9 or more credit hours 0.75 9-11 credit hours 0.75 6-8 credit hours 0.50 6-8 credit hours 0.50 3-5 credit hours 0.25 0-5 credit hours 0.25 0-2 credit hours FULL-TIME STUDENT - A graduate student who has scheduled nine (9) or more credit hours for that semester. An undergraduate who has scheduled twelve (12) or more credit hours for that semester. GRADUATE-LEVEL CREDIT - Master’s level credit is granted for course prefixes numbered 500-799. Doctoral level credit is granted for course prefixes numbered 800-999. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY - Employees whose specific assignment is customarily made for the purpose of teaching and/or research, as 72 based on Occupational Activities Categories, not budgeted FTE. LOWER-LEVEL CREDIT - Credit hours generated in 100-299 numbered courses. The lower level courses refer to freshmen and sophomore level courses. NEW FRESHMAN - See first-time freshman. NEW UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER STUDENT - A new student at Western Carolina University who has previously enrolled at another university or college after high school graduation and prior to the first enrollment at WCU; students who transfer to WCU during the previous summer school are classified as new transfer students that next fall semester. (See first-time freshmen.) PELL GRANT PROGRAM - The Pell Grant Program provides eligible undergraduate postsecondary students grant assistance with demonstrated financial need to help meet educational expenses. PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM (Formerly National Direct Student Loans) - This program provides low interest loans to eligible postsecondary students (undergraduate, graduate, or professional) with demonstrated financial need to help meet educational expenses. PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES - Persons whose assignments require a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent who are not reported in the “Executive, Administrative, and Managerial” or “Instructional Faculty” categories.

Does not include Distance Education instruction or SCHs or summer school SCHs. RESIDENT CENTERS - Located at UNC-Asheville and Cherokee. Though “off-campus,” the credit hours generated from WCU instruction at these locations is considered to be “on campus” for funding purposes. All other off-campus instruction generating credit hours is considered Distance Learning credit. RESIDENT CREDIT - Instruction delivered and SCHs generated by for-credit on-campus instructional activity, regardless of the office or department offering the instruction and the method of delivery. RESIDENT CREDIT HOUR - A credit value of a resident credit course. Resident credit courses are usually taught in on-campus classrooms. Courses taught by WCU faculty in UNC-Asheville classrooms and the Cherokee Center are also counted as resident credit courses. Resident credit hours generated, with the exception of “state-employee, tuition-free hours”, are used to calculate full-time equivalents (FTE) for state funding purposes. (See student credit hour and extension credit hour.) REVENUES - University revenues are defined as inflows of funds or other resources committed to the ongoing operation and mission of the University. For financial reporting purposes, revenues are reported according to the primary source of these resources.
