Making Enrollment Management Policy Work December 1, 2009
The Usual Goals of Enrollment Management in the CSU • Achieve the funded enrollment targets (FTES) • Maintain or increase diversity • Facilitate Graduation
Enrollment Management is about more than ADMISSIONS! Enrollment management is about optimizing resources to in a timely fashion to produce graduates, who are so pleased with their college experience, that they: • Praise their alma mater in words and deeds, • Contribute to the annual fund annually, • Encourage others to attend the university, and finally • Include the university in their will.
Achieving Enrollment targets involves the effective interplay of : • Recruitment/outreach • Timely admissions • Timely financial aid • Yield activities • Retention, e.g. advising • Graduation • Replacement of graduates
Issues that often “overlay” enrollment management • Residence hall occupancy rates • Debt Service • Ethnic and SES Diversity • Distribution across academic units • Societal/economic needs • Academic “inventory control”
Recent Additions to the CSU Enrollment Management “toolbox” • Reduction in exceptional admissions • Consideration of Dual admissions • System-wide Impaction • An option for currently un-impacted campuses • Approved for College Year 2009-2010 and probably until state funding of demand resumes
So, You Think You Want to Use “Systemwide” impaction for Fall 2009! • Define a local area (by high schools or CCs); • Separate timely applications into two “piles”; • Provisionally admit local area applicants, who meet CSU minima; • Place other applicants in a wait list and admit as needed to achieve target, and • Re-route un-accomodated, but admissible applicants to open CSU campuses
Our Colleagues Share re Local areas and wait-listing • Sandra Cook – SDSU “Route 56 is the new Route 66” • Darren Bush/Nathan Evans - CSUSM “Wait listing” for Enrollment Planning Precision • Jane Sweetland/Ginger Reyes- CSUCI “Wait listing”: What we learned last year”
Newly emphasized CSU EM tools Rescission of admissions offers Deposits and/or mandatory orientation Coordination with housing Yield management • Return of the “Forbidden Four” • Admissions Priorities (Ed Code 66202) • “Disquals” as per EO 1038
Regional Team Tasks Each Campus Each Region Describe at least one action that will be taken by the team to facilitate each team member/campus’ achieving (but not exceeding) its funded targets for Fall 2009. 1) • List as least one (but no more than two) specific actions, which will manage FTES enrollments down/up to funded targets for Fall 2009. • 1) ? • 2) ?
