  2. Agenda • Fast Facts • Challenges • Our roles as Campus Leaders • Developing Good Principles • Facilities • Schedules • Faculty • Defining Enrollment Management • Data Review • Strategic Enrollment Planning Process • Managing the Demand

  3. Fast Facts……..The U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education ServicesNational Center For Education Statistics • Enrollment increased 26% [14.5 million to 18.2 million] between 1997 and 2007. • Full Time – 34% • Part-Time – 15% • The number of young students has grown more rapidly than the number of older students; but this pattern is expected to shift. • Projection: from 2006 to 2017 NCES predicts a rise of 10 percent in enrollments of people under 25 and a rise of 19 percent of people 25 and older.

  4. Valencia Fast Facts………..* Valencia Statistical History Fact Book 2008-2009 • Population Projections* • Enrollment Growth Over last 3 years exceeded 36% • Enrollment growth exceeds Enrollment planning • Plan for 5 to 6 % growth • Actual Enrollment 10 -12%

  9. DEFINITION: Enrollment Management • Enrollment Management is an institution-wide, systematic, comprehensive, research-driven system designed to locate, attract, retain, and graduate the students the institution wishes to serve. From: Noel-Levitz: “Enrollment Strategies That Work in Attracting and Retaining Students”

  10. Enrollment Management is: • An organized and systematic approach to managing resources: • Faculty • Space • A philosophy reflected in activities that have the support of administration, faculty, and staff. • Start Right • Learning Assured [Learning Centered]

  11. Where to start……Begin with the end in mind….. S. Covey • “Who” are the students we ultimately want? • “Where” are they? • “What” is it that they expect/desire? • “When” do they want it? • “How” do they want it delivered? • “Why” do they want it? NOTE: Answers to these questions will help determine the information we need to track and evaluate.

  12. Data Review • Demographic Information • High School Graduation Projections • Recruitment/Enrollment Trends • Retention/Student Success Rates • Withdrawal Rates • Grade Distributions • Zip Code Enrollment Distributions • Economic Trend Data • Space Utilization Reports • Instructional Reports [Full- and Part-Time Faculty • Community College Survey of Student Engagement [CCSSE] • Satisfaction Surveys • Student Assessment of Instruction • “Functional Evaluations” [i.e. divisional surveys, professional organization surveys] • “Best Practice” Review • Consultants • Site Visits • Conferences

  13. Student Characteristics Report

  14. Two KEY reports in Enrollment Management Red/Green • Daily Report on Course Enrollments • Run during Open Registration • Allows Pro-Active Enrollment Management by Deans • Provides Provost with Snapshot of Enrollment Section/Capacity/%Filled • Weekly/Monthly Report on Capacities and Sections • “Section Management” • Run in weeks prior to open Registration and at end of term [for comparison] • Provides Provost with a snapshot of how efficiently courses/faculty were scheduled.

  15. Red/Green Report Color Key: Red – 10 or less enrolled Lt Green – 5 or less seats open Dk Green – Reserve Lt Blue – Cancelled Dk Blue – Online Yellow – Selected Topics/Intern Orange – Cap set at 0 Report Key: POT = Part of Term Mode = Delivery Method Actual = # Enrolled Open = Open seats Cap = Capacity

  16. Instructional Report on Sections, Capacity, and Enrollment Enrolled in Previous “like” Term: Did our enrollment meet/exceed our capacity? Sections: Have we built capacity correctly? % Filled: How well efficiently did we schedule our sections?

  17. Distribution by TIME/MODE

  18. Divisional Report on “Top Enrollment Courses” [Prescriptive Enrollment Modeling]

  19. Enrollment Management is: • A comprehensive institutional process that extends beyond recruitment and admissions functions. • A complex and holistic approach to analyzing and influencing enrollment from inquiry to graduation. • A campus-wide process that integrates often disparate functions and personnel, including recruitment, financial aid, institutional research, teaching/learning, and student services From: Noel-Levitz: “Enrollment Strategies That Work in Attracting and Retaining Students”

  26. The building blocks Enrollment Facility • Curriculum Cap • Course and Discipline based; determined by faculty • Enrollment Count • Live and rolling number • Facility Cap • Maximum allowable seats in a room/lab • Fire Code • State Guidelines • Section Cap • Maximum number of students that can enroll in a section

  27. Enrollment & Facilities System Review • Data Model / Data Dictionary • Measures (Occupancy, Utilization, Facility Availability, Seat-Hours, …) • Dimensions (Facility, Calendar, Clock, Timeline) • Sample Room Schedule tools • Graphical Reports: (Day of Week Report) • Text Based Reports: (Room Schedules) • Sample Reports • Room to Campus to College Level Reporting • Uses: • Security • Food Service • Tutoring • Facility Planners • Student Development • Instructional Technology/AV

  28. WHY Enrollment Management? • Proactive management of resources • Faculty • Facilities • Student – Centered • Quality Management • Enhances recruitment, retention, and graduation planning • Creates a continuous “Best Practice” of assessment, planning, and execution
