Non-credit courses are excluded. Information on non-credit courses is presented at the end of this section.
Note that " % change " indicates the change from the previous academic year - a one-year change.

Success = Course enrollment divided by the number of grades A, B, C, or CR awarded

Retention = Course enrollment divided by the number of grades A, B, C, D, F, CR, or NC awarded

Time to degree or certificate is measured in semesters (2 per year). Individual student award dates are
compared with the semester of a student's first course in the program , counting all intervening semesters,
attending or not. Then, the semesters-to-award values for multiple students are averaged.
4
FTES = total WSCH (all students) divided by 525 and multiplied by 17.0 (the Term Length Multiplier). This is the
formula used for calculating FTES, a major component of annual CCC apportionment. The actual
apportionment calculation looks at other factors such as student residency status, among others.

WSCH = Weekly Student Contact Hours - the number of hours per week that a course meets times enrollment.
Lab hours are counted at one-third value. WSCH for short-term courses are pro-rated. WSCH for Open-Entry and
Positive hour courses are calculated on actual attendance. WSCH for Independent Study courses are based on
units. Source: Datatel XFTE report.

FTEF = Full Time Equivalent Faculty is based on the TU's (teaching units) utilized by the department in classrom
instruction divided by 15. Reassigned time is not included. One FTEF is equal to one instructor load of 15
teaching units in one major term. Source: Datatel XFAS - Facultly Assignment Sheets.
