Some of the common questions I have been asked by fellow administrators:
• How many new students do we expect to enroll?
• How many total students do we expect to enroll?
• How many beds do we need?• How many beds will be have available?• When do we need to have a new residence
hall completed?

Some of the common questions I have been asked by faculty departments:
• How many seats and sections of _________ do we need next year?Core requirements - Typical Freshmen Courses:
Old Testament, English Composition, fine arts, humanities, social science, physical education
Major Courses: based on # of new English majors, how many introductory English courses.

Concerns of making Predictions:
• I don’t have the training!– (I am not a statistician)
• I don’t have the data or the tools!– (I cannot learn a little Excel)
• I am afraid I won’t be accurate!– (I cannot look like a fool to my boss)

The Role of Forecasting
• Short Term: Scheduling of existing resources
Acquiring additional resources
• Long Term: Strategic planning for future
resource needs and options

Forecasts = Pattern +/- Randomness
Patterns are quantitative methods of determining correlative actions based on statistical analysis of historical data.

Forecasts = Pattern +/- Randomness
Patterns are quantitative methods of determining correlative actions based on statistical analysis of historical data.
Randomness is a qualitative judgment that relies on intuition, expert opinion, market knowledge, and knowledge of your students and constituents.
God’s providence; others call “luck”

How do develop a forecast?
If you have research staff in your office, GREAT, use them!
If not, establish your own simple research, looking for patterns – assumptions. But, you don’t have to be a statistician!

• Projected Fall 2014 Sophomores =% of New Fall 2014 Student Projection +% of Fall 2013 Actual Freshman Students +% of Fall 2013 Actual Sophomore Students +% of New Spring 2014 Student Projection
• # SO = (L6*L64)+(K25*L56)+(K26*L57)+(K9*L69)
• Projected Fall 2014 Juniors =% of New Fall 2014 Student Projection +% of Fall 2013 Actual Sophomore Students +% of Fall 2013 Actual Junior Students +% of New Spring 2014 Student Projection
•# JR = (L6*L65)+(K26*L58)+(K27*L59)+(K9*L70)

Last Step in the Forecast
• Projected Fall 2014 Seniors =% of Fall 2013 Actual Junior Students +% of Fall 2013 Actual Senior Students +% of Fall 2014 Student Projections
• Projected Fall 2014 Total Enrollment =# FR = (L6*L63)+(K25*L55)+(K9*L68)# SO = (L6*L64)+(K25*L56)+(K26*L57)+(K9*L69)# JR = (L6*L65)+(K26*L58)+(K27*L59)+(K9*L70)# SR = (L4*L59)+(K20*L53)+(K21*L54)
Formulas will change depending on when you are making the calculations.

Look for Patterns that will inform other decisions:
• Actual Fall New Enrollment : What happened 2008?
• Projected Enrollment change from last year.
• Compare Actual Freshman Retention and Graduation Rate.
• Projecting Core Course Needs
• Projecting Expenses and Housing Needs

Summary Thoughts to Hold On To:
•Projections are only as good as your data, and your assumptions.

Summary Thoughts to Hold On To:
•Projections are only as good as your data, and your assumptions.•There is still “randomness” to be expected.

Summary Thoughts to Hold On To:
•Projections are only as good as your data, and your assumptions.•There is still “randomness” to be expected.
•When I am relatively close and have helped provide direction for the college, I thank the Lord and accept the praise I receive!

•When I am relatively close and have helped provide direction for the college, I thank the Lord and accept the praise I receive!
•When I am way off and am acknowledged for my good efforts, I remember we are dealing with 18-22 year olds in a period of economic uncertainty and thank the Lord for job security as a Registrar. (unless you can help me come up with a better excuse )
