03011: Student FTE
Field Information
| Number: | 074 |
| Name: | Student FTE |
| Abbreviation: | STULOAD |
| Length: | 5 |
| Status: | Compulsory. |
| Description: | Student FTE represents the institution's best academic judgement of the full-time equivalence of the student (for this record) during the reporting year 1 August - 31 July. |
| Notes: | Full-time, full year students would normally be returned as 100.00 and part-time students returned as a proportion of an equivalent full-time course. Comparisons and weightings of different full-time, full year programmes of study are not expected. The proportion of part-time study can be estimated on either a 'time' or a 'credit' basis. Please see C03011 Supplementary Information relating to Field 74, Student FTE for further detailed notes. Where a student is studying a foundation degree bridging course the FTE recorded in field 74, Student FTE, should be increased to reflect this. Where the bridging course spans academic years the load should all be returned in the second academic year, this may differ from the method used for other non-standard academic years. Institutions should also indicate in field 52 Special Programme that the student has studied a foundation degree bridging course in the year in which the FTE is increased. It may be that the inclusion of a foundation degree bridging course means that the year of programme of study becomes non-standard. However, where the year would otherwise have been recorded as a standard academic year the year should still be recorded as such. Example A student completes a foundation degree in June 2003 and then undertakes a bridging course from July to September and then joins the final year of a degree which they complete in June 2004. Field July 2003 July 2004 QUALAIM 28 21 STULOAD 100.0 130.0 TYPEYR 1 1 SPPRG N/A 08 Where a student only studies a bridging course in the academic year they should return field 41, General qualification aim of a student, with a value of 61, 'Institutional undergraduate credit which may be counted towards qualifications within codes 01 to 52' (that is, when a student withdraws during or following completion of the course, or where they transfer in from another institution before starting the course). Where a student undertakes a foundation degree and bridging course in the same academic year field 153/138, Completion of year of programme of study, should reflect whether the student completed the foundation degree and will therefore usually be returned with a value of 1. Similarly where the student progresses to a degree after completion of the bridging course field 153/138, Completion of year of programme of study should reflect the completion status of the degree. |
| Example: | A student studying the equivalent of a three year course over five years would be returned as 060.0. A student studying 30 credits in the current year, in the case where 120 credits is the norm for a full-time student, would be returned as 025.0. |
| Reason Required: | To give a more accurate assessment of the contribution of non-full time study than can be obtained by the use of arbitrary multipliers. Allows analysis by full-time equivalents as well as by headcounts. FTEs may be used in publications and for projections, planning and monitoring of the sector. |
