To assist the Florida Department of Education in reaching its goal of

Quality Efficient Services

, it

is important for the Community College System to provide accurate Full

projections to the Department. 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 Capital Outlay FTE projections are used by the Office of Educational

Facilities to calculate space needs for the facilities surveys. The FEP and Capital Outlay FTE

Projections are generated once a year per the Florida Community College System Guidelines and

Procedures. The Community College and Technical Center Management Information System

(CCTCMIS) is asking the colleges to review the latest FTE projections and make adjustments as

needed.

 

The Capital Outlay FTE Projections provided by CCTCMIS are the sole source for use by the

Office of Educational Facilities for Community College Surveys. Therefore, colleges

must

 

include FTE projections for all sites, actual and planned, through 2012-13.

 

CCTCMIS staff has generated, in Excel, the form for the colleges to report adjustments.

Instructions to access the Adjustments Form will be emailed to the Reports Coordinator at each

college. Also, each college must submit a FTE Enrollment Plan Submission Form to CCTCMIS.

Attach to the Submission Form all narratives justifying the projections in the enrollment plan.

To assist the colleges in verifying the FTE projections, CCTCMIS has generated reports for

Florida public high school graduates, Florida’s population, historical FTE and projected FTE.

For the FTE Enrollment Plan, colleges have a choice between making adjustments to the

CCTCMIS' projections or using the college’s own projections. Each college must use one or the

other method but not both. Colleges must submit a narrative explaining the college model or any

adjustments to the CCTCMIS projections or explaining why no changes are made. CCTCMIS

will carefully evaluate all projections and narratives. CCTCMIS will not accept projections that

are not reasonable and fully justified. Per the Enrollment Estimating Conference, the FTE

projections will be for lower division courses only. The FTE projections use 30 credit hours per

FTE.

 

Please email the completed FEP Adjustment Form to robert.mcmullen@fldoe.org, and submit

the FTE Enrollment Plan Submission Form by June 22, 2007, to:
