Notes about the information provided for this credit:
Of the total 17,421 student load, only the 14,850 Equivalent Full-time Student Load (EFTSL) Internal Onshore was utilised for Operational data calculations, as it includes all domestic and international students in on-campus and mixed delivery. The remaining 2,571 EFTSL distance students are not applicable in the data calculations, as they are composed of 1,838 external students (onshore students who follow a fully online study plan) and 733 international offshore students (international students not in Australia), as they would not be on campus at any time to use the facilities.
