What is an FTES?

One Full-Time Equivalent Student (FTES) is one student attending 525 contact hours

525 contact hours equals 175 instructional days with a student in class for 3 hours per day.

What is an FTES?(in English)

One student taking a full load of classes (usually 15 units).

How many FTES did my class generate?(For a class using the WSCH accounting method)

Students in class * hours per week * term length multiplier / 525

35 students * 3.4 hours per week * 16.3 / 525=3.694667

(other accounting methods use slightly different formulas)
