State appropriations are expected to drop $3 million in revenuebecause of a significant decrease in contact hours for the spring. Diane Snyder, vice chancellor for finance and administration, toldtrustees Saturday at a budget retreat in the library at NortheastLakeview College that she calculated the $3 million loss based on anotification received from the Texas Higher Education CoordinatingBoard based on contact hours for spring 2011. We got a preliminary notification from the (Texas HigherEducation) Coordinating Board of our fiscal year 13 appropriation they were using our spring 2011, which is the highest on record,and we were losing $600,000, she said. Snyder said the amount of money the state reimburses the collegesper credit hour based on the enrollment on the census date varieswith different programs, but the blended average was $2.75 percredit hour.
She said enrollment this semester was 58,356, but the districtreported 1 million fewer contact hours than budgeted. Snyder said there were about 23 million contact hours in fiscalyear 2011, and the projected amount for fiscal year 2012 went downto 22,530,405. She said it will take a $2.4 million increase in revenue formaintenance and operations tax plus the 3 percent tuition increaseto break even. Trustees voted 6-2 at the retreat to increase tuition by 3 percentfor 2012-13. For in-district students enrolled in six or fewer hours, that meansan increase of $14.
Snyder said the 3 percent tuition increase will allow the collegesto grow and support an enrollment of 66,798 students, bringingcontact hours up to 24,397,125. She said there was an expected decrease of nonexempt enrollment inthe budget for the spring of 1,640 students. However, there was anadditional decrease of 6,859. Nonexempt students are students who are not exempt from payingtuition, such as those who take dual credit courses while in highschool. From fall 2010 to fall 2011, there were 802 fewer sections offered,and contact hours for nonexempt students suffered a 4.4 percentdecrease.
Semester credit hours suffered a 5.5 percent decrease. When you look at those enrollment numbers, it was only a 1.3percent (decrease) and that s because each student on average istaking a little less credit hours, Snyder said. Average credit hours per student in fall 2010 was 8.21 compared to7.86 for fall 2011. From spring 2011 to spring 2012, there were 1,074 fewer sectionsoffered and a decrease of 13 percent in contact hours for nonexemptstudents. In spring 2011, 7,998 sections were offered; 6,924 sections wereoffered this spring.
Semester credit hours dropped 14 percent and average credit hoursper student for spring 2011 was 7.97, which decreased to 7.778 thisspring. We proactively reduced sections. That affected that we did notallow our students to come. And we had 800 less sections in thefall and 1,000 less in the spring and that is why our spring is58,000 students, Snyder said.
Snyder said because sections were constrained, it was first-come,first-served. So we turned students away? District 3 trustee Anna Bustamanteasked. Chancellor Bruce Leslie responded, Yes. In addition to a reduced number of sections, new district policypassed July 26 required registration end Jan.
7. Board Policy F.6.1.1 states, "The last day for students to submitan application to enroll for classes starting at the beginning ofall other parts of term will be two weeks prior to the first day ofthe part of term." Senate Bill 1107, which took effect in January, also required allcollege students regardless of housing status to have a bacterialmeningitis vaccination, or booster. Also students who had a break in enrollment lasting at least onesemester and transfer students were required to obtain thevaccination.
