Notes:  Only students taking regular on-campus courses are counted.   Extension, remedial, study abroad, high school, and agency-funded enrollments are excluded.

Comparison to targets:

  • UW-Green Bay does not have specific FTE or headcount targets for spring semesters.
  • Our Spring Gross Tuition target is $6,519,567.  The value of current registrations is $6,502,333.  Last year, gross tuition increased 3.5% between this point and the final.  If a similar trend happens this year, we will end Spring with $6,729,915 and a small surplus from the Spring over $200,000.

Comparison to last year's enrollments:

  • FTE and headcount enrollments are as strong or stronger than last spring in all categories.  Strong spring enrollments will have an impact on the number of new students we can admit for Fall 2001.

  • Enrollments are primarily larger because we enrolled more students in Fall 2000 than Fall 1999.  Regular enrollments for fall were up 2.0%.  Current spring enrollments are up 3.2% over last spring.

  • UW-Green Bay stopped accepting applications for new transfers and new freshmen in regular on-campus programs on Friday,  December 15.  We will continue to admit graduate students, undergraduate specials and students in Extended Degree and Nusing Consortium program.

  • Retention is also strong.  At this time, 91.2% of the New Fall Freshmen who started in 2000 and 67.6% of the sophomore cohort have registered for Spring 2001.  These rates compare to 89.2% and 63.5% last year.  Since our cohorts tend to have about 1000 students, each 1% increase in a cohort's retention rate corresponds, more or less, to 10 additional students.  

  • The Extended Degree Program has enrolled 199 students for 69 FTE, compared to 208 students and 69 FTE last spring.
