  • HB 14-1319 PROJECT - FOUNDATIONAL WORKING DOCUMENT Draft As of 08/13/14
    HB 14-1319 PROJECT - FOUNDATIONAL WORKING DOCUMENT Draft as of 08/13/14 Background House Bill 14-1319, signed into law in May 2014, requires the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE), the statewide coordinating board for the higher education system, to develop a new funding formula to allocate state general fund dollars among the State’s public institutions of higher education within specified parameters. The legislation lays out an aggressive time frame and specifically charges the CCHE to engage in a facilitated process with “interested parties” and ultimately adopt and weight funding factors in a new base-funding allocation formula that includes role and mission factors as well as performance metric factors. The intent of this new funding model is to, in part, determine and implement a mechanism that is more transparent and understandable for Colorado taxpayers; provides tuition predictability while ensuring both accessible and affordable higher education for residents; and, does so in harmony with the statewide goals for higher education as articulated in the CCHE’s Master Plan – Colorado Competes, A Complete Agenda for Higher Education. Purpose This foundational working document (FWD) has been developed, in collaboration with institutional research representatives and Chief Financial Officers from Colorado public colleges, facilitated by CDHE staff, to establish a foundation of consistent and accurate definitions and data sources to be utilized and relied upon when addressing the various components of the bill. This document will be shared with Funding Modeling Expert Team to use as a foundation for their discussions as they begin to work on building a funding model with factor and metric definitions and data sources that are “consistent and predictable” as well as “transparent and understandable”, as required by law.

  • Colorado Resident and Non-Resident Student Enrollment
    Colorado Resident and Non-Resident Student Enrollment This report is prepared by the Colorado Department of Higher Education pursuant to CRS 23-1-113.5(4)(d). SB18-206 added a provision which requires the Department to report annually on the resident and non-resident student populations at Colorado public postsecondary institutions as defined by CRS 23-1-113.5(4)(a). It is important to note that due to the exclusions allowed by statute, the resident and non-resident population proportions presented in this report do not fully summarize the entire student enrollment at Colorado public postsecondary institutions; the types of students included in this analysis are limited. Percentage of Fall incoming freshman classified as in-state Per CRS 23-1-113.5 (4) (a)(I), the percentages of Fall incoming freshman at each campus who are in-state students are presented for three years. These data are used to calculate a three-year rolling average. Incoming freshmen are defined as first-time, degree seeking undergraduate students taking resident instruction hours. Pursuant to CRS 23-1-113.5 (4)(a)(I), foreign students are excluded. Additionally, all Native American students at Fort Lewis College are excluded due to Fort Lewis College’s unique mission in serving Native American students and its participation in the Native American Tuition Waiver program. A chart visualizing these headcount data can be found on page 3. Table 1 on page 6 provides detailed data for headcount calculations. Percentage of total students enrolled classified as in-state (by FTE) Per CRS 23-1-113.5 (4)(a)(II), the percentages of in-state students enrolled at each campus are presented for three years.
