What is SEM?
Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) is defined as “a comprehensive process designed to help an institution achieve and maintain the optimum recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of students where ‘optimum’ is designed within the academic context of the institution. As such, SEM is an institution-wide process that embraces virtually every aspect of an institution’s function and culture.”
Michael Dolence, AACRAO SEM 2001
Research Recruitment Retention
Core Enrollment Principles
No Enrollment Effort is Successful without QUALITY Academic Programs to Promote
Recruitment and Retention is an On-going, Multi-year PROCESS with Strong Access to Research and DATA
+80% of Enrollments come from REGIONAL student markets for BS/BA degrees
The Most Successful Recruitment Programs Clearly DIFFERENTIATE the Student Experience from Competitor’s Programs
The Most Successful Retention Programs Clearly Address Students’ Needs and Regularly ENGAGE Students in Academic and Non-Academic Programs

Impact of the Economy?
46%: The Economy Has Changed Which College Students will Attend
SOURCE: Longmire & Company, Inc. 2009 “Study of the Impact of the Economy on Enrollment”
76% indicated they would be “somewhat” or “very likely” to consider a more expensive institution if it could deliver greater value.

Our Challenges
The Midwest and Northeast will experience a 4% to 10% decline in high school graduates between 2009 – 2014 (WICHE)
The profile of college-bound students is rapidly becoming more ethnically diverse and female dominant (NCES, WICHE, ACT, College Board)
The number of students interested in engineering, computer science, and natural science degrees has declined to record lows (ACT, CIRP)
More full-time college freshmen are choosing to start at two-year colleges (IPED, MODHE)
More students are enrolling in more than one college at a time (National Student Clearinghouse)
Future student market growth will include more students requiring financial aid and loans to complete a degree (WICHE)
Key changes in the college-bound student markets

How Do We Plan for the Future?
1. What is the total faculty’s teaching load? 2. How many classrooms and seats does the campus
have available? 3. How many science/engineering labs are available? 4. How many residence hall beds are available for paying
students? 5. How many parking spaces are reserved for students? 6. What is the per meal dining capacity?
Focus Our Future Plans on Optimizing the S&T’s Operational Capacity
I. If we maintain current record market shares, we could decline 2% to 5% in new students each year after 2010.
II. If we continue to increase research, we will need more graduate students and better GA packages.
III. To maintain or grow quality, diversity and revenue levels the quantity of students will be key.
Upcoming Challenges
Managing of the “tipping” US student markets Lack of Appropriate Classroom Space Need to Centralize Students Services Need of Diversity of Student Housing Options “One Card” service and security option with
Campus IDs Increasing Family Participation Need for more unrestricted and need-based
scholarships
