BACKGROUND
Enrollment Status for 2004/05 - Domestic Students
SFU was funded for
15,903
full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduates in 2004/05. This
includes approximately
557
FTE of"grandfathered" international students who were admitted
prior to 2003-3. Based on actual enrollments, we will miss our funded enrollment target by
approximately
13
FTE.
Enrollment Funding for 2005/06 - Domestic Students
The Provincial Government has increased our enrollment target by
356
FTE in 2005/06 to
a total of
16,259
FTE students. This includes a fourth increment of
136
FTE in "New Era or
DTO" programs (Computing Science and Engineering Science), a general access increase of
20
FTE students, and an increase of
200
FTE students at SFU Surrey.
Meeting our funded enrollment target will require an intake of approximately
5,800
new
domestic undergraduates in 2005/06.
Admission Targets
for 2005/06 b
y
Semester, Basis-of Admission, and Facult
y
- Domestic
Students
The global admission targets for each semester are determined by first allocating
FTE capacity to undergraduates continuing from previous semesters. Retention rates and course
loads for continuing students are assumed to remain the same as in the previous year. The
remaining FTE capacity determines how many new students are to be admitted. The targets are
constrained by requiring that minimum admission GPAs are roughly stable over the three
semesters, that historical proportions of new students by basis of admission do not change sharply,
and that adequate course supply is available in each semester to meet student demand.
Within each semester, there are three groups of students for which separate basis-of-
admission targets are identified. These are students entering from BC secondary schools, transfer
students from BC colleges and university colleges, and a collection of groups labeled as "Other."
"Other" includes students transferring from other universities, students pursuing a second degree,
mature students, secondary school graduates from other Canadian provinces, visiting, special
entry, concurrent studies, BC Grade 11, BC technical schools, etc.
The target for the Faculty of Applied Sciences is the sum of new-to-SFU students entering
each of Computing Science, Communications, Engineering Science, Kinesiology, and the
TechOne program at Surrey. The Education intake quota is an estimate of the number of new-to-
SFU students who will be admitted into the PDP and PBD programs. The quotas for Business
includes students who will be admitted to the main campus as well as into the Surrey programs.
The quotas for Arts and Science include students who will be admitted to the main campus as well
as into the Surrey programs in Explorations and Science One commencing in fall, 2005.
Tables 3. below provide information on the actual intake of new students in previous years.

International Students
In 2003-3, SFU began to admit full-cost recovery international students into undergraduate
programs. These students are outside the provincial funded target umbrella and are required to pay
higher tuition fees. Senate approved an admission target of 650 students in
04/05
and 723
students registered. The FTE of all full-cost recovery international students in
04/05
was 823
FTE.
For
2005/06
the proposed target is 650 new international students and should result in a
total enrollment of 1,125 FTE. Our enrollment plan is to increase the FTE of full-cost recovery
international students by an average of 375 FTE per year to approximately 1,700 FTE by 07/08
(10% of our funded FTE target).
Table 4. below provides information on the actual intake of new international students.
