FTE is calculated by counting all full time people as one and part-time people as one-third. In fall , NIU had 187 full-time students and 548 part-time students (including certificate), which counts as 370 FTE students; and 72 full-time faculty and 67 part-time faculty, which counts as 94 FTE faculty*. 370/94 = 3.9 students to 1 faculty.
