(1) Tuition value estimates are based on students' academic levels, credit loads and residencies and 2002/03 tuition rates.
(2) EDP data come from June 28, 2002 and cover the enrollment period from 1/1/2002 through 6/30/2002.
(3) Projections are based on changes across a similar time period in the prior year.  Some enrollment categories can not be projected until late in the summer, and are currently projected at their target level. Transfers can not easily be projected because the admission cycle differs greatly between last year and this year: the transfer 'projection' is simply set at the current value.

Highlights

  • Compared to a similar time last year:

    • continuing undergraduate enrollment is up 15 FTE or 0.5%, and should end up within 1% of its projection.

    • the Fall 2002 Freshmen class is very close to the same size as last year's cohort, with 901 students and 824 FTE currently registered.

    • transfer enrollments are down 92 FTE or 28%.  (A decrease of approximately 45% is planned for this category.  While transfer enrollments increased by 18% last year after this point, this year we expect to see only minimal increases in transfer enrollments over the current level.)

  • Our tuition revenue target for 2002-03 has not been finalized, but the fall target for gross tuition revenues will be approximately $8.5M.  Current gross tuition charges for Fall 2002 are $7.8M.  Last year, tuition revenues grew 5.5% between this point and the end of the semester.  If a similar trend was followed this year, we would expect fall tuition revenues to grow to approximately $8.2M, leaving us approximately $300,000 short of the fall target.  However, a large portion of last year's enrollment growth during August came from transfer registrations, which will NOT happen this year.  Tuition revenues will almost certainly grow by less than 5.5% between now and the end of the summer.

  • Our Fall 2002 target is 4,357 FTE.  It has remained the same for three years.  Last year we enrolled about 4% more FTE than the target.
