The capacity/enrollment
ratio, often referred
to as the C/E ratio,
is the amount of instructional
and library space on
campus divided by the
total fall term student
clock hours of that
institution. The C/E
ratio relates the amount
of space directly used
in an institution's
instructional programs
to the instructional
activity of the campus.
It is one of the most
commonly used indices
of instructional utilization
of institutional facilities.
In analyzing and comparing
the capacity/enrollment
ratios, it should be
kept in mind that a
relatively low ration
generally indicates
a high level of space
utilization. It should
also be noted, however,
that such factors as
the level of an institution
and the kind of instructional
programs that it offers
will affect the amount
of space required and,
therefore, the C/E ration. |
