Appendix 2: Updated Method of Counting Student Full-Time Equivalents for Central Data Warehouse Reporting Institutions
For many years, the Ministry has used student Full-Time Equivalents as the measurement unit in several performance measures.
Beginning in fiscal year 2005/06, an updated method was implemented to calculate Full-Time Equivalents at the 21 institutions
that submit student data to the Ministry through the B.C. Post-secondary Central Data Warehouse. Please refer to the Ministry of Advanced Education 2005/06 Annual Service Plan Report, Appendix 3, for more details on the updated method: http://www.bcbudget.gov.bc.ca/Annual_Reports/2005_2006/ae/ae.pdf
During 2006/07, a small number of refinements were made to the targets for specific programs. This was necessary because some
institutions were not quite ready for the new method, and some initial difficulties in establishing new targets at the program
level. The impact of these refinements to nursing and allied health and to developmental targets is shown below in Tables B
and C.
A major focus of the updated Full-Time Equivalent counting method is to better reflect all student activity. To that end,
a further change to the method will be implemented in 2007/08: the inclusion of apprenticeship activity funded by the Ministry
of Economic Development (through the Industry Training Authority) and/or the Ministry of Advanced Education. This ensures
that an important component of public post-secondary activity is reflected in public reports.
