(4) The projected changes are based on how categories shifted last year between this time and the final report.  
(5) Goals are set by the Enrollment Management Committee and reflect our need to achieve both FTE and revenue targets.

Highlights

  • Our Fall 2003 total FTE target is 4,387 (up 30 from last year's target).  We have achieved that target.  We anticipated needing to enroll 4,577 FTE to reach our tuition revenue targets.  We have achieved that FTE figure, also.

  • New student enrollments (freshmen and transfers combined) are projected to end with 1310 FTE, 1.8% over the goals set for new undergraduates.

  • Continuing undergraduate FTE enrollments are coming in higher than the goal.  Retention is very strong.  Graduate student enrollments are stronger than last year.

  • Our tuition revenue target for 2003-04 has not been finalized.  In 2002-03, we overshot our fall FTE target but failed to achieve our tuition revenue target.  Because our students are taking heavier credit loads, it requires fewer students to achieve the FTE target.  Since tuition is generated on the basis of students (not FTEs), reducing the number of enrolled students depresses tuition revenues.  A decline in non-resident students, who pay much higher tuition, has contributed to declining revenues.  Both of these trends -- students taking heavier loads and fewer non-residents attending -- are escalating in our 2003 student body and have been experienced across the UW System.  Achieving our tuition revenue target in 2003-04 will require enrolling more FTEs than are currently built into the target of 4387.  The goals documented in Part 3 are based on our need to reach the revenue target.
