Enrollment Planning

12-5 Enrollment Planning Update

 

  • We now expect only about 800-900 new transfer students to enroll. This is lower than our earlier forecast because the application pool was smaller and weaker than anticipated. Other CSU campuses are reporting the same. This transfer decline may be due to:
      • Reduced backlog as we took large transfer classes in the last Fall and Spring cycles, and
      • Community colleges possibly having some pipeline issues due to their budget cuts.
  • The transfer decline does not appear to be related to fee increases because Fall 2012 applications are up substantially (see below).
  • We anticipate a total headcount of about 32,400 students, about 2% below last Spring. This is less than the earlier forecast due to the downturn in transfers.
  • Nearly all continuing students have had a chance to register. More.

10-12 Enrollment Planning Update

 

Spring 2012 FTES targets and the full range of enrollment planning reports are now available on the Office of Institutional Research & Assessment website. More.

 

 

9-14 Enrollment Planning Update

 

  • We plan to be fully open for Spring 2012 admissions to transfer, postbaccalaureate and graduate admissions.
  • We will be closed to freshmen and second bachelor’s students.
  • We expect a total headcount of about 33,000 students, fewer than the 34,900 this Fall; this is typical for a Spring term due to fewer new students.
  • We expect about 1,400 to 1,600 new transfer students to enroll.
  • Admissions criteria for impacted programs will be moderate.
  •   We expect perhaps 500 graduate and post-baccalaureate students. More.

Enrollment Priorities

  • Courses students need immediately to meet graduation requirements.
  • In fall and spring terms, full schedules of classes for recently admitted first-time freshmen.
  • Major, General Education, prerequisite and service courses that students need to make progress to degree with pent up unmet demand and greater than 95% fill rate in recent prior terms.
  • Other high demand major, General Education, and service courses that students need to make progress to degree that are high demand (80-95% fill rate in recent prior terms).
  • Other courses that students need to make progress to degree as resources permit.
