FAQ

FTEs are determined by what your institution classes as full-time (attending lectures or classes for 15 hours, 20 hours, or more a week) for the length of the academic year (which depends on how you operate your term time).

For example:

1 FTE = 1 student, 20 hours a week, for 40 weeks.

Or, to make 1 FTE with part-time students = 2 students, 10 hpw, for 40 weeks

Or, if the part-time courses are shorter than the full-time courses, 1 FTE = 4 students, 10 hpw, for 20 weeks.
