2. Budget Drivers – Revenue
The most significant revenue driver for the university budget is clearly enrollment, both individual students (“headcount”) and full-time equivalent (FTE) students, which for this purpose is total credits divided by 15 (for a quarter). Headcount is most relevant for services that are not dependent upon credits taken, such as housing, dining, parking, and bookstore revenues. Other revenue elements, such as tuition and most mandatory fees are charged per credit taken and therefore FTE is the main driver. Budget development at CWU begins with fall headcount estimates, as it is quite easy to derive quarterly headcount, as well as FTE using established historical patterns from the fall headcount baseline. On the chart below, note the repeating pattern of higher enrollment in the fall, with a consistent drop each quarter. This drop is typically 4 or 5 percent each quarter and comes from a combination of student persistence issues, graduation, and/or transfer to another institution.
