FTESImpact
FTES impact was based on students enrolled in academic year 201011. These students were tracked
back to 1991 to determine courses that they repeated. The simulation accounted for both repeatable
and nonrepeatable courses. For repeatable courses, FTES was disallowed if the number of repeats
exceeded the allowable limit for the course. For nonrepeatable courses, if students realized their 4th
course attempt (on the basis of receiving a letter grade or notation) before or during the 201011
academic year, then the FTES was disallowed. Table 1 (below) displays the distribution of disallowed
FTESbydisciplineandassociatedlossscenarios.

201011. These counts represent maximum estimates of students who may be affected by the repeat

3. Incremental Success Rate: This measure divides successes at each attempt level by total outcomes
(successful and unsuccessful). It addresses the question of how the overall success rate is affected by
additionalattempts.Inthiscase,attemptsbeyondthethirdaddabout0.5%(=0.4%+0.1%)tothetotal
