2007/08 Undergraduate Enrollment Update

Funded Domestic and International B"

FTEs:

SFU was funded for 17,176 undergraduate full-time equivalent IFTE) in 2007/08.

(Subsequently, this number as adjusted to remove Surrey Graduate FTEs which were

embedded in the 17,176 FTE.) The End-of-Week-3 enrollments indicate that we have

achieved 17,337 actual undergraduate FTEs this year (including approximately 68

distance learning FTEs). This represents a 100.9% undergraduate FIE utilization rate.

New student intake targets for 2007/08 were 6,224 (or 794 in summer, 4.430 in fall

and 1,000 in Spring). However, we admitted 6,725 new students (552 in summer,

4,963 in fall and 1,212 in spring) or 8% more students thereby exceeding our program

FTE target.

Unfunded International

"A ' FTEs:

SFU's 

internal target for full cost recovery International "A" students was 1,507

FTEs 

for

2007/08. 

We achieved

99.6% 

of this target - International "A" enrollments reached

1,502

FTEs, 

thus resulting in a shortfall of

5 FTEs. 

In order to meet the above

FTE

targets, the new International student intake targets

were set at

839

for

2007/08 

for

205

in summer,

412

in fall and

222

in spring).

Consistent with the softening demand in Canada from international students, we

admitted

92.8% 

of our intake target or 779 new international students this year

1154, 

423

and

202

in each of the three terms]. This is

153

more students than we admitted

2006/07 1627 

versus

815

target).

2008/09 Undergraduate Enrollment Targets

As shown in the university enrollment plan, the

2008/09 

undergraduate funded

FTE

target for domestic (and international "B") students is 17,677

FTEs. 

Our international

"A"

FTE

target for

2008/09 is 

1,748 which is approximately 10% of domestic funded

FTEs 

(excluding Undeclared/Open Learning) in compliance with Senate's approved

target for international students. (In

2007/08, 

this target was temporarily reduced to

-9%.)

In order to achieve these program

FTE

targets, we expect that roughly

88%

of the

FTEs will 

be generated by students who continue at

SFU

from previous semesters and

the remainder will be generated by new students admitted in

2008/09. 

In accordance

with the university and faculty enrollment targets described in the enrollment plan,

Institutional Research and Planning has predicted that

SFU will 

2008/09 

and 932 new

international

students (see Table 3

attached, and a comparison with

2007/08 

actuals in Table

4).
