WEEKLY STUDENT CONTACT HOURS

Short Name

WSCH

Definition for UGRD

The number of class hours this section is regularly scheduled to meet during a week. Courses vary in the number of weekly student contact hours and depend on the number of days and hours per week. WSCH excludes students who drop before census.

FTES is calculated based on the accounting method and session code.

if XB01 = W, WSCH = WAH
if XB01 =D, WSCH = DAH * NO OF DAYS
if XB01 =P, E, or G, WSCH = Actual Attendance Hours
if XB01= I and SESSION != 1, WSCH = WAH
if XB01 = L and SESSION = 1, WSCH = WAH

Note: At the enrollment-level WSCH is populated, even if the INCL EXCL IND = N (WSCH is not reportable). Non-reportable WSCH are not included in course-level calculations.

Definition for CE

if XB01 = G, WSCH = Actual Attendance Hours

Course FTEs for courses with CAREER= CE and LOCATION = online should use the following equation:

FTES = ((WSCH1+ WSCH2)/2)/525

WSCH1 (aka First census)
((TOTALHRS/54) *Enrl_CX)*17.5

WSCH2 (aka Second census)
((TOTALHRS/54)*Enrl_CX2)*17.5

Definition for CEHS

if XB01 = G, WSCH = Actual Attendance Hours
