| Description |
Full-time equivalent students (FTES) is a standardized measure of student workload, used to account for students taking different number of units. One FTES represents 525 hours of student instruction, typically equivalent to one full-time student taking 15 units per semester for an academic year. |

| Notes |
- This measure represents the total course load taken by students, converted into the equivalent number of full-time students. It is especially useful for capturing the enrollment of part-time students in a standardized way, by translating their course load into a fraction of a full-time course load.
- Values are grouped per academic year (e.g., Summer 2024- Spring 2025).
