The administration assumes 1 FTE student at CCC represents 525 contact hours per year, which on average generates about 24 credits. For undergraduate education, CSU and UC assume 1 FTE student represents 30 credit units. For graduate education, CSU, UC, and Hastings assume 1 FTE student represents 24 credit units.
For CSU, the 2019-20 budget provides $3 million one-time General Fund to support enrollment growth in graduate speech and language pathology programs. The funds are intended to support a total of 200 FTE graduate students over four years.
For UC, the 2019-20 budget expects growth of 4,860 resident FTE undergraduate students by 2020-21. UC plans to accommodate about half of the growth in 2019-20.
For Hastings, reflects enrollment in its juris doctor program—its core academic program.
