Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL) refers to the study load a student must be enrolled in to be classified as a full time student. Each unit of study is awarded an EFTSL value, which is a proportion of the total study load required to complete one full-time year of the course.

Known as EFTSU prior to 2005, this is a measure of load that is generated from enrolments in courses offered by the University. A value representing the student load for a course or part of a course, or group of courses. It is expressed as a proportion of the workload for a standard annual program for students undertaking a full year of study in a particular year for a particular course. A full-time student has an annual EFTSL of 1.0, or 0.5 EFTSL for a semester.
