2003-2004 FTE Enrollment Plan
DUE: June 27, 2003
JIM HORNE
Commissioner of Education
The FTE Enrollment Plan (FEP) was developed to improve the enrollment planning capabilities
of the Florida Community College System at both the state and college level.
The Division is
asking the colleges to review the latest FTE projections.
To assist the colleges in verifying the
FTE projections, the Di
vision has provided data for Florida public high school graduates,
Florida’s population, and historical FTE.
The FTE projections and related data are available for
download from the Northwest Regional Data Center (NWRDC).
For the FTE Enrollment Plan
only, colleges have a choice between making adjustments to the Division's projections or using
the college’s own projections. Each college must use one or the other method but not both. The
Division will carefully evaluate all projections and narratives.
The Division will
not
accept
projections that are not reasonable and fully justified.
Per the Enrollment Estimating
Conference, the FTE projections will be for
lower level courses only
. Instructions are attached.
Each college must submit a FTE Enrollment Plan Submission Form to the Division.
Attach to
the Submission Form all narratives justifying the projections in the enrollment plan.
