Enrollment Management

ENROLLMENT GOALS

• Gradually increase total undergraduates to 31,000+

• 2017 Freshman Beginner class (summer + fall) of 7,100+

• Increase transfers as possible

• Maintain Indiana residents at over 50%

• Maintain or enhance academic profile, including rigorous HS curriculum

• Maintain those units that do not want to grow – gradually grow those that

wish to do so

• Enhance diversity broadly defined

4

EXPECTATIONS FOR SUMMER AND FALL 2017

• About 200 conditional Summer Start students

• Between 75-125 non-conditional

(applied directly to summer or switched from fall to summer)

• Total new beginner class difficult to predict at present due to lagging

international yield – will probably be on the high side, however

• Anticipated softer Indiana resident yield – but coming in strong
