2017-18 Unit Plan
Enrollment Management

Mission Statement

The Enrollment Management Committee develops and monitors the execution of the college’s enrollment management strategy which emphasizes retention, schedule, and recruitment.

Program Description

The Enrollment Management team meets 1-2 times per month to discuss enrollment goals, review recent EM actions, determine how to allocate EM funds, and make recommendations on scheduling, retention, and recruitment initiatives.

The team recommends FTES targets, communicates progress towards stated targets, and provides guidance for the campus community in achieving enrollment goals.

The District provided $75,000 in "up front" funding to establish an Enrollment Management Operating budget while a request for funding through IEPI was developed and submitted. The IEPI application process has been completed and the $200,000 in funding has been received.

At this time EM funds have been spent on four items (in addition to items that are being funded through IEPI): 1) Ask Me tablecloths, banners, and canopies; 2) A TV for the 2nd floor of the GCC to advertise services to students; 3) part-time hourly reg workers to assist at the front counter of A&R during the first two weeks of Fall and Spring; and 4) $21,000 additional funding for EM MAPS provided by Instructional departments looking to increase enrollment through promotional endeavours.
