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.  

The tuition value estimates are now based on 2001-02 tuition rates which have been set by the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents in lieu of action by the Wisconsin State Legislature. For more information on the new tuition rates, see www.wisconsin.edu/news/2001/r010709.htm.

Total enrollments continue to run slightly ahead of last year in both heads (up 66, or 1.4%) and FTEs (up 72, or 1.7%).  The increase is coming almost entirely from continuing undergraduates, which are up 138  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
We have achieved our FTE target. 
Fall Tuition Revenue Target unconfirmed at this time.  We have proposed a target of approximately $7.6 million (adjusted for the tuition rate increase). Our current revenue figure of $7.4 million is about $240,000 short of the proposed target.  Last year, tuition revenues increased approximately 5% 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.

The Extended Degree Program has currently enrolled 249 students (38 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 retention.  The retention of Fall 2000, Fall 1999 and Fall 1998 New Freshmen into their second, third and fourth years, respectively, will be 2-3% higher than last year.  Slightly fewer Fall 1997 New Freshmen are enrolled for a fifth year, perhaps indicating that graduation rates may also be improving.  Official retention and graduation rates will be prepared after the 10th day of the fall semester.
