Quick Guide to Divisional Budget Planning Tool – Undergraduate (DBPT-UG)
Purpose of the DBPT-UG • To assist divisions with preliminary multi-year enrolment and budget planning • To enable divisions to explore different scenarios before narrowing down to 1 or 2 options • To integrate different components of overall planning: enrolments, tuition, revenues, University Fund contribution, student aid, staffing changes, space changes, and other university-wide costs.
Starting the Model • Before starting the tool please refer to the following website for instructions http://individual.utoronto.ca/hsiangan/dbpt/
Main User Sections Within the Model • Inputs_and_ResultsSection where divisions input their incremental plans and receive resulting projections • Other_Automatic_AssumptionsThis section provides a summary of the various additional assumptions used to generate the projections. Based on historical data.
1 2 3 4 Incremental Input Section [1] Faculty/Program [2] Full-time fall new intake [3] Domestic international percentage mix and mix calculator [4] 2008 Intake variance adjustment and resulting domestic/international headcount
5 6 7 8 Incremental Input Section [5,6,8] Domestic/International tuition fee rate increase factor and the resulting first year tuition fee [7] University-wide cost drivers
Other Automatic Assumptions • This section automatically updates assumptions depending on the faculty/program selected • Most of these factors are derived from the P&B models used to project the annual budget numbers
Other Automatic Assumptions – List of Variables Built into Tool • Tuition fee methodology (course, program) • Tuition increases for continuing students • The institutional fees write-off factor • Student aid provisions
Other Automatic Assumptions – List of Variables Built into Tool • Fall year-to-year retention rates • Average course loading: conversion from headcounts to FTEs • Winter over fall retention
Other Automatic Assumptions – List of Variables Built into Tool • Eligible FTE (EFTE) over Total FTE ratio • Formula fee rate (as per Ministry) • BIU Weight – Either Ministry value or blended average • BIU Value (as per Ministry)
Other Automatic Assumptions – List of Variables Built into Tool • University-wide per unit costs • Undergraduate FTEs • Operating Revenue • Faculty FTEs • Administrative FTEs • Space: Net Assignable Square Meters (NASMs)

Results (Legend) [1] Starting Tuition Level: For most, tuition to be charged to year 1 students. For some programs with delayed entry, fee will be the year 2 rate. [2] Enrolment Results: The enrolment measures used to project revenues and costs [3] Net Revenue Available to the Division [4] Total Revenue, with domestic/international details [5] Cost Deductions [6] Rounding option checkbox, determine whether to round the values in the result section.

Supplementary Sections • Enrol_workingThis section contains the detailed steps translating the divisional inputs and automatic assumptions into the resulting enrolment, revenue, and cost projections. • Univ-wide CostsThis section displays the steps translating a per-unit cost for each driver into incremental University-wide cost allocations. Changes in enrolment and budget planning will have a material impact on cost allocations driven by NASMs, Student FTEs, and Staff FTEs. • PriceVarianceOnBase This section contains the detailed calculations for determining the revenue change related to existing enrolments as one modifies the tuition/price assumption.
