Spring 2003 Enrollment Update

(1) Tuition value estimates are based on students' academic levels, credit loads and residencies and 2002/03 tuition rates.
(2) EDP data cover the enrollment period from 7/1/2002 through 12/31/2002.

Highlights

• Last year, the total FTE increased 0.6% after this point.  A similar trend this year will leave us with a total around 4130 FTE.

• Our tuition revenue target for Spring 2003 will be about $7.9M.  Last year, tuition revenues increased 1.2% after opening day. If a similar pattern is followed this year, we will gross approximately $7.5M in tuition revenue this spring.

• We do not have a specific FTE target for spring terms.  

• The percent of Fall 2002 students who have enrolled for Spring 2003 has increased for new full-time fall freshmen and transfers.  The total Spring FTE as a percent of the Fall FTE is also higher than in recent years.
