Select District Select Year/Term Select TOP Code Level


Select Distance Education Status

Note: FTES is calculated by summing the "Total Hours" (refer to SXD4 in CCCCO MIS Data Element Dictionary) in all the enrollment records reported to CCCCO MIS during the requested time period, then dividing by 525. If "Total Hours" cannot be derived because data is missing or set to "Unknown/Unreported", the enrollments are not included. Only enrollments in classes that are eligible for state apportionment payments are included. This methodology is not the same as the methodology used in calculating FTES for 320 report.

Distance Education Definitions: Distance education (DE) means instruction in which the instructor and student are separated by distance and interact through the assistance of communication technology. Whether a course is to be considered as DE, the basic criterion established in the GUIDELINES (March 2004) under Section 55205 needs to be applied (i.e., a distance education course/section or session utilizes technology 51 percent or more of the time to deliver instruction during the course term.) In determining the type of distance education modality to assign to a course, the predominant mode of delivery, in terms of time spent, is then applied to course sections where multiple distance education delivery modes (i.e., Internet, television, video tape, etc.) are present.
