Today’s Presentation How do we project tuition revenue? Variables Enrollment Enrollment Grad. vs UG Grad. vs UG Residency Residency In-State In-State Good Neighbor Good Neighbor Out-of-State Out-of-State

ENROLLMENT FTE VS. HEADCOUNT FTE = Full Time Equivalent Undergraduate = 15 credits Graduate = 12 credits Headcount = # of bodies on campus regardless of total credits For budget purposes FTE is what matters!

Why is it a challenge to project tuition revenue? When discussing enrollment on campus we often hear a % that FTE has increased or decreased…”enrollment down 3% from last FY” It is not that simple…a 3% decrease could mean tuition is down ($1,063,920) or tuition is down ($2,659,800). Example on next slide Tuition revenue can vary significantly depending on where FTE increases and decreases occur…let’s look at some scenarios….

Let’s look at an example using undergraduate enrollment Fall 2014 Enrollment was down (5.86%) or 156 FTE Tuition Rates Undergraduate Academic Year In-StateGood NeighborOut-of-State Tuition Rate$6,820$11,254$17,050 FTE-156 Loss of Tuition Revenue($1,063,920)($1,755,624)($2,659,800) Difference between loss of In-State vs loss of Out-of-State is ($1,595,880)

Let’s look at an example comparing undergraduate vs. graduate Tuition Rates Undergraduate vs. Graduate In-State UndergradIn-State Graduate Tuition Rate$6,820$16,344 FTE-156 Loss of Tuition Revenue($1,063,920)($2,549,664) Difference between loss of graduate vs loss of undergraduate is ($1,047,576)
