Body of article There are slightly fewer students at the University of Victoria this fall, or slightly more, depending on how you look at it.
According to figures released recently by the office of institutional analysis, the undergraduate headcount fell by 1.5 per cent, or 297, to 15,098 as of Nov. 1, 1998.
But if you look at full-time equivalents (FTE)&emdash;a figure based on the number of credit hours taken by each student&emdash;enrolment went up. Undergraduate winter session FTEs total 10,728, up by 1.2 per cent, or 129 full-time students. The increase is due to students taking slightly higher course loads.
Meanwhile, the number of graduate students has dropped by 3.1 per cent, from 2,192 in fall 1997 to 2,124 this semester. The drop is due to a change in registration policy for nearly completed graduate students.
