Question 472687: College student take different course loads. Many colleges determine the number of full time equivalent students F by using the formula F=N/15 where n is the total number of credits in which students enroll for a given semester.
If students on campus register for a total of 72015 credits how many full time equivalent students does the campus have?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
72015 / 15 = 4801 full time equivalent students.
this assumes that each full time equivalent student is taking an average of 15 credits each.
full time equivalent students gives an estimate of how many student would be enrolled in the college if you assumed that all of them were attending full time.
it has no relationship to the actual number of students that are enrolled full time.
