1. Quick Guide to Divisional Budget Planning Tool – Undergraduate (DBPT-UG)

2. 21 Aug 2008 Purpose of the DBPT-UG To assist divisions with preliminary multi- year enrolment and budget planning To assist divisions with preliminary multi- year enrolment and budget planning To enable divisions to explore different scenarios before narrowing down to 1 or 2 options To enable divisions to explore different scenarios before narrowing down to 1 or 2 options To integrate different components of overall planning: enrolments, tuition, revenues, University Fund contribution, student aid, staffing changes, space changes, and other university-wide costs. To integrate different components of overall planning: enrolments, tuition, revenues, University Fund contribution, student aid, staffing changes, space changes, and other university-wide costs.

Univ-wide Costs This section displays the steps translating a per-unit cost for each driver into incremental University-wide cost allocations. Changes in enrolment and budget planning will have a material impact on cost allocations driven by NASMs, Student FTEs, and Staff FTEs.

17. 21 Aug 2008 Main Differences Between Divisional Budget Planning Tool Undergraduate and the detailed P&B Budget Report Model DPT-UGOfficial Models Nature of the ModelIncremental: only takes the new intake into consideration. Complete: Projection derived using actual from previous year and projecting at a program by year level. Student GroupFull-time student population only.Both full-time and part-time student populations are included. Faculties/DivisionExcludes: Centennial, TYP, Woodsworth Certificates, Post Graduate Medicine Education (PGME), OISE Diploma / Certificates, PharmD, Toronto School of Theology (TST), Commerce Majors, Nursing Diplomas All faculties and divisions International Exempt (IE)International students in this model are assumed to pay international tuition levels and are assumed not to generate government funding (BIU). Includes the possibility that some international students are exempt and that a small proportion of them may generate BIU funding. Average Course Load Factor (Headcount to Fall FTE Ratio) Average is used across all years and all subgroups. Individual subgroups of students may have a different course loading factor that is used in the calculation. Some factors vary by year.

18. 21 Aug 2008 Main Differences Between Divisional Budget Planning Tool Undergraduate and the detailed P&B Budget Report Model DPT-UGOfficial Models Summer SectionFall/winter only. Summer section not considered for most faculties/programs, except for Radiation Sciences and Nursing. Some summer projections are expressed as a percentage of the prior fall/winter and thus are automatically updated. Program Fee Entry PointStudent intake entry point is year 1 for everyone.Some programs’ entry point are in year 2. Retention RatesRetention rates for the “year 1 continuing” and “year 1 to 2” are adjusted to equal a maximum of 100%. Sum of “year 1 continuing” and “year 1 to 2” retention can be larger than 100%. Students with Transfer CreditsDoes not take these students into account. All assumed to start in Year 1. New students with transfer credits are distributed between Years 1-3. Tuition – Minimum Charges and Retained Fees Not consideredConsidered. BIU Funding - System Constraints Not consideredConsidered, decision required concerning probability of system funding discount. BIU CalculationAverage BIU weight by year is used for some programs. Detailed model considers mix issues (e.g. science, arts, commerce) in detail and then uses Ministry BIU program values.

Costs are allocated based on each division’s share of students, staff or space Cost DriversAssumes enrolment and budget planning changes only affect NASMs and UG, Grad, Faculty, Admin FTEs Assumes any planning change has the potential to affect all methods cost allocations.
