ABOUT THIS VISUALIZATION: This data visualization summarizes student full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment by fiscal year, residency, and student level. This data visualization was created by the CU System Institutional Research. Additional details are provided within the visualization.
ABOUT THE FTE CALCULATION: Prior to FY2016, Student Full-Time Equivalent Enrollment (SFTE) = total student credit hours in a fiscal year divided by 30 (per the policy of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education). Beginning in FY2016, Student Full-Time Equivalent Enrollment (SFTE) = total undergraduate student credit hours in a fiscal year divided by 30 plus total graduate student credit hours in a fiscal year divided by 24 (per the policy of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education).

*Students at the Anschutz Medical Campus typically take more than 30 credit hours per year, therefore the CCHE formula overstates student FTE at that campus.
