How Banner 320 calculates contact hours, and thus FTES, by Attendance Method.
History
Coronavirus scheduling uncovered that our historical precedents made tasks easier but not granular enough to be accurate and adaptable. This page will document how Banner calculates contact hours, and thus FTES based on the specified Attendance Method.
Current Deficiencies
Argos and EIS FTES reports both have incomplete logic to correctly calculate FTES for IW/ID sections with a lab/activity/other component. AP-58 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Attendance Method
Independent Weekly - STVACCT_CODE with only Weekly STVACCT_WCH = “Y” and Independent Study STVACCT_INDEPENDENT_IND = ”Y”
For Sessions that have a Meeting Type SSRMEET_MTYP_CODE with a GTVMTYP_LAB_IND of “N”, it will take the Session Credit Hours SSRMEET_CREDIT_HR_SESS and multiply it by the Term’s Term Length Multiplier STVTERM_TERM_LEN_MULT.
For Sessions that have a Meeting Type SSRMEET_MTYP_CODE with a GTVMTYP_LAB_IND of “Y”, it will take Session Hours per Week SSRMEET_HRS_WEEK and multiply it by the Term’s Term Length Multiplier STVTERM_TERM_LEN_MULT.

Independent Daily - STVACCT_CODE with only Daily STVACCT_DCH = “Y” and Independent Study STVACCT_INDEPENDENT_IND = ”Y”
For Sessions that have a Meeting Type SSRMEET_MTYP_CODE with a GTVMTYP_LAB_IND of “N”, it will take the Session Credit Hours SSRMEET_CREDIT_HR_SESS and multiply it by the Term’s Term Length Multiplier STVTERM_TERM_LEN_MULT.
For Sessions that have a Meeting Type SSRMEET_MTYP_CODE with a GTVMTYP_LAB_IND of “Y”, it will take the Session Total Contact Hours SSRMEET_HRS_TOTAL.
