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.
  • The current Spring FTE total of 4071 (including 4002 FTE in on-campus programs and 69 FTE from the Extended Dergee program) is an all-time record for UW-Green Bay (see the graph).
  • Our Spring Gross Tuition target is $6,519,567.  The value of current registrations is $6,604,727.  Last year, gross tuition increased 1.3% between this point and the final.  If a similar trend happens this year, we will end Spring with $6,690,589 and a Spring surplus of around $170,000.

Spring FTE Enrollment Graph

Comparison to last year's enrollments:

  • FTE and headcount enrollments are as strong or stronger than last spring in all categories except New Freshmen, which were purposefully limited this year.  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 2.3% over last spring.

  • Retention is stronger than last year.  In the past weeks students on suspension and probation have been removed from the records, primarily impacting new freshmen.  Here are retention rate comparisons for the past three cohorts' enrollment into the spring.
     
      Current Last year Improvement 
    Freshmen 89.4% 89.2% +0.2%
    Sophomores 65.9% 63.5% +2.4%
    Juniors 52.9% 50.2% +2.7%

     

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