Align your institution with its environment and identify high-impact strategies
Is your campus prepared to meet the changing academic demands, employment needs, and the increasing diversity of learners in the coming years? Does your campus take a reactionary approach to the ups and downs of the higher education market, instead of having a long-term plan to anticipate changes?
Strategic enrollment planning has helped many campuses have overcome these challenges and take more data-informed, systematic approaches to addressing changes in the higher education environment. It’s proven process that rallies campus leaders and constituents around optimal strategies and measurable indicators of success, helping everyone stay on track and also assess their progress toward goals.
What is strategic enrollment planning?
Strategic enrollment planning is more than a long-term recruitment or retention plan. It is a data-informed process that aligns an institution’s fiscal, academic, co-curricular, and enrollment resources with its changing environment to accomplish the institution’s mission and ensure the institution’s long-term enrollment success and fiscal health.
