This is an enquiry about practice at other institutions in apportioning
student load and I should be grateful for any help members of the list can
give.
In calculating student load for departments ( the first stage in resource
allocation calculations) at Bradford we have traditionally had the practice
of a 10% administrative allowance. This means that 10% of each student
FTE is attributed to the 'home' department for the administration involved
in admitting, registering and supporting students. The remaining 90% is
distributed to departments according to the teaching on modules.
As a consequence of organisational changes we are reviewing the student
load calculation mechanism. What I am interested in knowing is
do other institutions have a similar ' administrative allowance' ?
and, if so
at what level is it set?
higher or lower than 10%?
