  1. Admissions & Enrollment Management Chris J. Foley Director of Undergraduate Admissions

  2. Source:

  3. Under an Enrollment Management model, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will take a proactive role in managing the campus’s resources devoted to recruiting, admitting and enrolling students of all undergraduate types to campus.  The unit will emphasize and create the expectations for the use of research and data to develop recruitment plans and admission standards, the maximization of efficiency and return-on-investment in the use of campus resources, and achieving the enrollment goals for the new students from headcount, credit hours and budgetary perspectives.

  4. The Enrollment Equation: Enrollment for the Current Year Students Who Graduated New Students Enrolled Ecy = Epy + Sn – Sd– Sg Enrollment for the Prior Year Students Who Departed

  5. Recruitment’s Role in the Equation Direct Influence on New Students Ecy = Epy + Sn – Sl– Sg Indirect Influence on Student Departure and Graduation via Types of Students Recruited

  6. Total New Indianapolis Students = 13,043

  7. Graduation: Success and Loss • Positive enrollment decline, but still a decline • May commencement saw an increase in the number of degrees of 163 (+2.5%) • May commencement saw an increase in the number of bachelor’s degrees of 141 (+3.5%) • A 2% increase in graduation rate represents 70 students on an incoming cohort of 3,500 • This is compounded if multiple graduation rates increase simultaneously

  8. If we were to reach our graduation rate targets (22%, 50% for 4-yr, 6-yr) and our retention target of 80%, we will have a net loss of 105 students on a cohort of 3,500 freshmen. If we do not reach the retention target, the loss will be 389 students. The Consequences of Meeting Our Graduation Rate Targets

  9. Factoid to Consider #1 Almost 25% of our freshman deposits for 2014 are 21st Century Scholars, compared to 20% for 2013 and almost double the number deposited for 2012. Are we prepared for this?

  10. Fall 2014 Fall 2012 Factoid to Consider #2: Our Top HS Are Changing

  11. Estimated Market Share

  12. Factiod #2 Summary • We are not losing market share from our traditional schools • We are instead gaining market share at schools that viewed us as a “last resort” in the past • These schools have larger classes and can therefore send larger numbers of students • These students will expect a different type of college experience

  13. Shifting Application Timelines

  14. Major Shifts in Freshmen Application Patterns

  15. Major Shifts in Freshmen Admission Patterns

  16. Key Facts • By Dec, we had admitted more than 70% of the Fall 2014 admits compared to 50% for Fall 2012—more than 7 months prior to the start of classes • By Jan, we had admitted more than 80% of the Fall 2014 admits compared to less than 70% for Fall 2012—more than 6 months prior to the start of classes • By Oct, we already had 40% of the Fall 2014 admits—more than 9 months prior to the start of classes

  17. It is likely that we will have 50-60% of our freshman admits completed by the end of Oct for Fall 2015!

  18. Scholarships and Financial Aid

  19. Key Question: Where does IUPUI stand with regard to the aid provided to its students?

  20. The Indiana Market by Ability

  21. Bottom quartile is impacted by admission standards Top quartile is about attraction predominantly about perceived value and scholarships The Indiana Market by Ability

  22. The Indiana Market by Ability

  23. The Indiana Market by Ability 24,238 12,119

  24. Key Take-Aways • Less competition for the mid-50% of Indiana students • However, this mid-50% will become more diverse • Competition for diversity will increase • IUPUI’s distribution best fits that of the state • Positions us well for enrollment growth, if we can capitalize on it • Increasing competition for 75th percentile of Indiana students • For IUPUI, this competition will revolve around two aspects: • Reputation • Scholarships

  25. Factoid #3: Numbers of Freshmen Living in Housing For Fall 2013, the freshman class exceeded housing capacity by 1,543. For Fall 2014, we are likely to exceed housing capacity by 1,800 or more students. That’s 250 or more additional freshmen who will not reap the advantages of living on campus. Are we ready for this?

  26. Where Do Transfers Fit Into Our Enrollment Plan? • 21% of our new students come in as external transfers • This proportion increases to 26% if intercampus transfers are included • External transfers are more diverse than freshmen

  27. Enrollment Trends at ITCC

  28. Top Feeder Institutions for Fall External Transfers

  29. Key Take-Aways • Enrollment at ITCC has stalled, but still remains the largest source of external transfers • There seems to be apparent growth amongst some 4-year colleges • Ball State • Smaller in-state liberal –arts institutions • This last point may mean that we are becoming a “second-look” institution where the experience and value doesn’t become apparent until after they “try-out” another institution
