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. Total enrollments will change relatively little between now and the last enrollment report, on the 10th day of classes. Although our FTE total of 4,672 is an opening day record, the headcount total of 5411 is not. For enrollment totals since 1975, see Headcount and FTE Enrollment.
With 966 students, this year's freshman class is larger than last year's, but not as large as classes that began in 1996, 1998 and 2000. This year's transfer class, containing 455 students right now, is larger than last year's but typical of our recent years. (The average number of transfers over the past five years is 460.)
Continuing undergraduate FTE enrollments are coming in higher than the goal. Retention is very strong.
Graduate student enrollments are also stronger than last year. Graduate student are shown by program in the graph below:
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. 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 (totaling 4577 FTE) are based on our need to reach the anticipated revenue target. Any surplus revenue we generate this fall may be needed to offset last year's deficit.
