What is SEM? Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) is defined as “a comprehensive process designed to help an institution achieve and maintain the optimum recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of students where ‘optimum’ is designed within the academic context of the institution. As such, SEM is an institution-wide process that embraces virtually every aspect of an institution’s function and culture.” Michael Dolence, AACRAO SEM 2001 • Research • Recruitment • Retention
Core Enrollment Principles • No Enrollment Effort is Successful without QUALITY Academic Programs to Promote • Recruitment and Retention is an On-going, Multi-year PROCESS with Strong Access to Research and DATA • +80% of Enrollments come from REGIONAL student markets for BS/BA degrees • The Most Successful Recruitment Programs Clearly DIFFERENTIATE the Student Experience from Competitor’s Programs • The Most Successful Retention Programs Clearly Address Students’ Needs and Regularly ENGAGE Students in Academic and Non-Academic Programs

Key changes in the college-bound student markets • The Midwest and Northeast will experience a 4% to 10% decline in high school graduates between 2009 – 2014 (WICHE) • The profile of college-bound students is rapidly becoming more ethnically diverse and female dominant (NCES, WICHE, ACT, College Board) • The number of students interested in engineering, computer science, and natural science degrees has declined to record lows (ACT, CIRP) • More full-time college freshmen are choosing to start at two-year colleges (IPED, MODHE) • More students are enrolling in more than one college at a time (National Student Clearinghouse) • Future student market growth will include more students requiring financial aid and loans to complete a degree (WICHE)
