- Summary:
-
Simply stated, enrollment management is the process of defining enrollment goals and establishing procedures to reach these goals. The approach consists of a variety of interdependent activities, which can include the clarification of institutional mission, long-range planning, academic program planning, marketing and recruitment, retention, and career planning and placement. A major factor underscoring the need for enrollment management is the decline in the numbers of traditional college-aged students--by 1994, it is forecast that there will be a 26% drop in higer education enrollments nationally, with some regions dropping by 43%. Suggested methods of implementing enrollment management vary. Some recommend that enrollment management emanate from the Board of Regents, which should: focus the mission statements of each segment of postsecondary education by stipulating what it can and cannot do; tighten admissions standards; and establish strong mandatory transferability of credits. Some colleges are attempting to exercise greater control over the destiny of their institutions by implementing strategic planning with short- and long-range marketing plans. Enrollment management is an attempt by institutions of higher education to control the size of enrollments through a better understanding of the factors that influence enrollment patterns, and the establishment of structures and procedures to contact more potential students and influence their decisions concerning college choice and attendance.
