Notes: Only students taking regular on-campus courses are counted; extension, remedial, study abroad, high school and agency funded enrollments are excluded. Extended Degree students are tallied in the lower table; they are included in the upper table only if they are also taking regular courses on campus. The tuition estimates incorporate information about the students' residencies and credit loads.  Projections are based on last years trends.  

Total enrollments continue to run slightly ahead of last year in both heads (up 57, or 1.2%) and FTEs (up 67, or 1.6%).  The increase is coming almost entirely from continuing undergraduates, which are up 140 FTE, or 4.8%.

As summer progresses, we will be tracking our registrations against two targets:
Total Fall FTE target (including the Extended Degree Program) 4357 FTE
As of this week, we have achieved our FTE target by 3 FTE. How much we will ultimately exceed the target will depend on enrollment management decisions made over the course of the summer.
Fall Tuition Revenue Target unconfirmed at this time.  We have proposed a target of approximately $7.1 million.  Current revenue billed is slightly higher than last year at this time -- by about 1.9% -- reflecting the slight increase in enrollment to date.  Our current revenue figure of $6.8 million is about $250,000 short of the proposed target.  Last year, tuition revenues increased approximately 7% after this point in time.  If tuition revenues increase in a similar fashion this year, we will reach the target and could have a tuition revenue surplus from the fall.

EDP has currently enrolled 249 students (36 of whom are also taking regular campus courses) and 105 FTE that will be counted in the Fall 2001 campus totals.  This compares with 239 students and 99 FTE last year.

We appear to be heading for a second year of improvements in the retention of new freshmen and of second-year students.  Retention rates for those cohorts may be as much as 3-4% higher than the prior year. Official retention rates will not be available until Fall.
