SUBJECT:

 

Fee Exempt Programs

 

 

We are providing the fee exempt information due to significant growth and

interest in this subject. A ten-year comparison of fee exempt programs reveals

the following:

 

From 1991-1992 to 2001-2002, fee exempt FTE increased 87.6%,

whereas the total FTE increased by only 9.0% over the same ten-year

period. Fee exempt FTE was 8.2% of the total FTE in 1991-1992 and

14.1% in 2001-2002 (Attachment A-1).

 

Attachment A-2 shows the change over 10 years by program.

 

In 1991-1992, fee exempt FTE represented over 15% of total FTE for 8

community colleges (Attachment A-3) whereas, in 2001-2002, fee

exempt FTE represented over 15% of total FTE for 11 community

colleges (Attachment A-4).

 

Attachment B displays similar information for headcount students as contained

in Attachment A for FTE.

 

From 1991-1992 to 2001-2002, fee exempt headcount increased 23.8%,

whereas, the total headcount increased by 1.1% over the same ten-year

period (Attachment B-1).

 

Fee exempt headcount was 11.7% of the total headcount in 1991-1992

and 14.3% in 2001-2002 (Attachment B-1).
