ADM-LEV = Administrative Level of IAF (12-mo. or AY Dept. Head, etc.)
OSF = Other Support Fraction (reimbursed or non-instructional fund)
IFF = Instructional Faculty Fraction (total "teaching" time)

First Line of Column Headings (Faculty)

Assigned Time Activity = List of Assigned Time Activity (3 max assigned time activities per term/per instructor)

Third Line of Column Headings (Courses)(Selected Headings)

COURSE = Course abbreviation
ID = Course number
SECT = Course section number
HEGIS = HEGIS discipline code used for national and CSU reporting
LVL = Level of course (1 = lower; 2 = upper; 3 = graduate)
ENR = Enrollment in class at census
LS = Sequence number for course section segments (+10 indicates team taught)
CS = Course classification number based on mode of instruction (e.g., 02 = Lec; 16 = Lab)
A-CCU = Adjusted course credit units (unit value of course)
DAYS = Meeting Days for course. To-be-arranged hours will show as TBA
BEG = Class Begin time
END = Class End time
TBA = TBA Hours
FACL = Facility building number
SPACE = Room number
TYPE = Facility type (LECT = Lecture; LAB = Laboratory; NCAP = Non-capacity)
GRP = Group code (2 or more sections with same time, room & instructor)
TTF = Team Teaching Fraction (proportion of teaching credit for team-taught class)
SCU = Student credit units (product of enrollment and adjusted course credit)
FCH = Faculty contact hours (hours of class meeting per week or based on supervision enrollment)
D-WTU = Direct WTU from classes & supervision plus assigned time codes of 11, 15, 16, 17 & 18
I-WTU = Indirect WTU (normally assigned time less codes of 11, 15, 16, 17 & 18)
T-WTU = Total WTU (sum of direct and indirect WTU and compared to Instructional Faculty Fraction for appropriate load)

Department Totals

Sample FAD Department Totals report - contents described below

NO. OF APPTS = Number of faculty members
APPT FTEF = (Full-Time Equivalent Faculty) The sum of all Instructional Faculty Fraction for the department/college (IAF and OSF are not counted in FTEF; only IFF contributes to FTEF)
CLASS WTU = (Class Weighted Teaching Units) The WTU earned from all class sections taught
SUPERVSN WTU = (Supervision Weighted Teaching Units) The WTU earned from all class sections of supervision (classes with CS #25 or #36)
DIRECT WTU = The WTU earned from all class sections taught, as well as WTU earned from assigned time codes of 11, 15, 16, 17, and 18
INDIRECT WTU = The sum of all departmental assignments associated with assigned time codes other than 11, 15, 16, 17, and 18
TOTAL WTU = The sum of Direct and Indirect WTU
DIRECT WTU/FTEF = Direct WTU divided by APPT FTEF
TOTAL WTU/FTEF = Total WTU divided by APPT FTEF
TOTAL SCU = The sum of all class SCU (This is not an accurate account of the SCU earned for the department/college)
TOTAL FTES = Total SCU divided by 15 for Undergrads

= Total SCU divided by 12 for Graduate students

SCU/FTEF = SCU divided by APPT FTEF
SFR = (Student:Faculty Ratio) Total FTES divided by APPT FTEF

Explanation of Range Codes

FULL TIME = TSF (Total Support Fraction) equal to or greater than 1.000
PART TIME = TSF (Total Support Fraction) less than 1.000

Faculty Rank

PROFESSOR/LECT D = Professor, head coach, principal vocational instructor, lecturer "D"
ASSOC PROF/LECT C = Associate professor, coach, senior vocational instructor, lecturer "C"
ASST PROF/LECT B = Assistant professor, coaching specialist, intermediate vocational instructor, lecturer "B"
INSTRUCTOR/LECT A = Instructor, coaching assistant, junior vocational instructor, lecturer "A"
TCHNG ASST/LECT L = Teaching assistant, lecturer "L"
TCHG ASSOC = Teaching associate
GRAD ASST = Graduate assistant, SSP, volunteer
ADMINISTRATOR = Administrator (no Instructional Faculty Fraction)
OTHER = Non-teaching librarian, coach, counselor, and administrator with IFF

Explanation of WTU Calculation

type of course	“K” factor		units		wtu
Lecture, C1-C6	1.0	x	3.0	=	3.0
Activity, C7-C14	1.3	x	2.0	=	2.6
Laboratory, C15	1.5	x	1.0	=	1.5
Laboratory, C16	2.0	x	1.0	=	2.0
Coaching Major Sport, C18	6.0	x	2.0	=	12.0
Coaching Minor Sport, C19	3.0	x	2.0	=	6.0
Major Performance Activity, C20-C21	3.0	x	2.0	=	6.0

Supervisory Workload

1. Student Teaching & Thesis, S25 - 25 students = 12.0 WTU (0.48 WTU per student enrolled)
2. Undergraduate Field Work, S36 - 36 students = 12.0 WTU (0.33 WTU per student enrolled)
