GUIDELINES FOR UNCC FACTBOOK



 1.  All student enrollment data are taken as of the census date for the
     term.  This is immediately following the period a student may drop with 
     a 90% refund.

 2.  Full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment data are calculated for each 
     student as follows:

               Undergraduate                 Graduate
          
          1-5  sem. hrs. = 0.25 FTE          1-2  sem. hrs. = 0.25 FTE
          6-8   "    "   = 0.50 FTE          3-5   "    "   = 0.50 FTE
          9-11  "    "   = 0.75 FTE          6-8   "    "   = 0.75 FTE
          12 or more  "   = 1.00 FTE         9 or more  "   = 1.00 FTE

          Full-time Undergraduate =          Full-time Graduate =
           12 or more sem. hrs.                9 or more sem. hrs.

 3.  Postbaccalaureates are counted as graduates if they are taking any 
     semester hours for graduate credit.  Otherwise, they are counted as
     undergraduates.

 4.  Students classified as "specials" include unclassified undergraduate
     students who are not working on a degree, visitors, and 
     postbaccalaureates taking only undergraduate courses.

 5.  New students in the fall semester include students who were new in the 
     summer and continue in the fall term.

 6.  Non-resident aliens are students who hold student visas and maintain an 
     out-of-state residence status.

 7.  Double majors can be counted only once in enrollment data and therefore 
     are reported under their primary major.  This is also true for degree
     recipients unless the student obtains different degrees.  If this 
     happens the student is reported under each degree.

 8.  Class level of students is determined by the number of hours earned by a
     student.  It is not based on the progression in a particular program.

 9.  Faculty data include those individuals who are here in the fall semester
     and whose major responsibility is instructional.  This is usually
     determined by the salary source of funds being 101-1310.  Department
     chairpersons are included.

10.  The full-time-equivalents for part-time faculty are calculated for each 
     faculty member by dividing the number of contact hours by twelve.
