(1) EDP data cover the enrollment period from 1/1/2004 through today, including all EDP classes in the Spring 2004 and Summer 2004 sessions. Students taking both campus classes and EDP classes are not double counted in the CAMPUS TOTAL or GRAND TOTAL lines.
(2) Other students are those served through Outreach and Extension, Study Abroad, and Grand-funded programs.  Because those students' education is funded differently from EDP and campus-based programs, they are not considered as part of our enrollment target.  They are sometimes called "non-FTE-generating" students because their enrollments have no impact on the campus FTE targets.  Many non-FTE generating enrollments will flow in throughout the semester.
(3) The targets shown here are from the 2004-5 revenue projection.
(4) Rates for 2004-05 have been set and are incorporated in the table.
(5) The projected changes are based on how categories shifted last year between this time and the final report.
(6) Goals are set by the Enrollment Management Committee and reflect our need to achieve both FTE and revenue targets.

Highlights

  • In Fall 2003, the University enrolled 4,630 FTE.  The Enrollment Management plan targets a student body the same size for Fall 2004.  Headcount and FTE enrollments at this time are very close to last year at the same point.  The three largest enrollment categories (continuing undergraduates, new freshmen and new transfers) will change little between now and opening day.

  • The projection estimates the University will end with an FTE total 23 higher, or 0.5%, than last year. 
     

  • Our tuition revenue target for 2004-05 is approximately the same as last year, and has been adjusted to reflect the 2004-05 tuition rates.  The current revenue total is about $165,000 lower than the target.  Last year the tuition revenue estimate increased $90,000 between this point and the final estimate.  A similar trend this year will leave us $75,000 short of tuition revenue in the fall.

  • Here are some preliminary features of the Fall 2004 New Freshmen (as of today):

    • The class includes 36 graduates of Green Bay Preble, 26 Bay Port graduates, and 21 each from Green Bay Southwest and Green Bay East.

    • 97% graduated in May 2004.

    • 15% have a home address in Green Bay.  96% have a home address in Wisconsin, 2% come from Minnesota and 2% come from another U.S. state.  (International students typically do not register until immediately before the term begins.)

    • 74% have been assigned to a campus apartment or residence hall.  A few more may move off the waiting list before the term opens.

    • 99% have ACT scores on file with the University.  Their average composite score is 22.6. 

    • 35% of them are men, compared with 33% last year.

    • 65 new freshmen are students of color (compared with 56 last year).

    • On opening day they will range in age from 17 to 37, with an average age of 18.2.  Only 11 are 21 or over, and only one of those plans to live on campus. 

    • The most common female names are Amanda, Sarah and Ashley for the women, Michael and Matthew for the men.  Almost 10% of the cohort has one of those names.
