Calculation of Population Figure

RecycleMania has increased in scope to include all campus buildings that the recycling coordinator would like to include. To account for full-time and part-time students and staff, each school is required to submit campus population figures, and RecycleMania uses the population data to derive a full-time equivalent (FTE) campus population figure to standardize for the amount of time a person spends on campus.

The FTE is calculated using the following formula:

• Residential Students = Number of Students x 1

• Full-Time Staff and Non-Residential Students (Commuting Students) = Number of Individuals x 0.75

• Part-Time Staff and Part-Time Students = Number of Individuals x 0.5
