NCSU Student Credit Hours

The student credit hour report is produced each semester from the student course extract and the instructor extract. It shows the total credit hours and total contact hours for each college. The hours are allocated at the college offering the course, not necessarily the home college of the faculty member.

The crossover analysis report shows the college of the student as consumer and the college offering the course as producer.

The total FTE is used to determine the Credit Hours per FTE and Contact Hours per FTE by college. The calculations are as follows:

• Instructional FTE - All faculty (Occupational Activity code = 20) who are permanent or on leave with pay, or are temporary but not replacing a faculty member on leave with pay, are included in this population. The instructional FTE is then computed by summing all of the 101-1310, 102-1310, 103-1310, 106-1310, and 107-1310 FTEs for these people.
• Supplemental FTE - All others teaching a class are included in the supplemental faculty. This includes administrators who are teaching, graduate teaching assistants, undergraduate lab assistants, and those not paid through PeopleSoft. The supplemental FTE for each individual is computed by dividing his total credit hours taught by 12. These FTEs are then summed for each college which has course responsibility.
• Total FTE - The sum of Instructional FTE and Supplemental FTE for each college.
