FROM
W. Watiamaniuk, Director

Analytical Studies
RE:
Undergraduate Admission
?
DATE: January 29, 1999
Targets for 1999/00
The Senate Committee on Enrollment Management and Planning (SCEMP)
is charged with recommending to SCAP annual targets for the admission of new
students into undergraduate programs at SFU.
SCEMP met January 27, 1999 to consider the attached proposal for
admission targets for 1999/00. The committee approved the proposals with the
proviso that the number of students admitted directly from B.C. GRXII in 1999-3
be increased by 120 students from 1,600 to 1,720 and that admission targets from
B.C. College and "Others" be reduced accordingly. The Committee felt that this
change would soften the abrupt increase in admission GPAs that would
otherwise occur for secondary students.
Motion 1.
"That SCAP approve and recommend approval to Senate and the Board of
Governors the following undergraduate admission targets for each basis-of-
admission group and for each semester in 1999/00, and that SCAP be
delegated authority to make adjustments based on changes to the overall
provincial enrollment targets for SFU and based on actual enrollment
experience in 1999-2 and 1999-3.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Senate Committee on
Enrollment Management
and Planning
RE: Undergraduate Admission
Targets for 1999/2000
FROM: W.
Watthmaniuk, Director
?
Analytical Studies
DATE: January 25, 1999
Enrollment Status Report for
199811999
SFIJ was funded for
13,424
full-time equivalent (FFE) undergraduates in
1998/99. This includes an increase of
198
funded FTE,
60
of which were targetted for
information technology related courses.
Based on actual enrollments for summer, fall, and spring, I estimate that we
will surpass our funded enrollment target by
384
FTE and will report an actual
enrollment of
13,808
FTE to the Ministry of Advanced Education, Science and
Technology.
Enrollment Funding for 1999/2000
We have received no notice from the MAEST regarding increases to our funded
target. We must therefore assume that our target remains at
13,424
FTE and this
means that undergraduate enrollments need to decrease by
384
FTE in 1999/2000.
I am proposing enrollment and admission targets for 1999-2, 1999-3 and 2000-1
as follows.
Admission Targets for 1999/2000 by Semester
Allowing for the generation of FTE by undergraduates continuing from previous
semesters, my estimate of new students required to achieve the funded enrollment
targets for 1999/2000 is as follows:
Intake of New
Semester
?
Students
1999-2
600
1999-3
2,950
2000-1
635
Total intake
4,185
Table 1 provides a comparison with actual admission numbers from previous
semesters. SFtYs total intake of new students will have to decline b
y
about
580
students in 199912000.
As usual, the modeling of the intake targets is constrained to ensure that
•
?
minimum entry GPAs are stable over the three semesters, historical proportions of
new students by basis of admission are roughly maintained, and course supply is
manageable in each semester.
I have also assumed that retention rates for
continuing students, and student course loads will remain unchanged from
one year ago.
Admission Targets for
1999/2000
by Basis of Admission and b
y
Semester
Within the global targets identified above, there are, broadly speaking, three
groups of students for which separate targets must be identified at this time. These
are B.C. Secondary, B.C. College Transfer, and "Other." "Other" includes University
Transfer, Degree Holders, Mature, Out-of-Province Secondary or College Transfer,
Visiting, Special Entry, Concurrent Studies, B.C. GRXI, B.C. Technical School, etc.
Chart 1. provide a historical perspective of admission "shares" by basis-of-admission
group.
I am proposing that the admission targets for each group be established as
shown below for each of the semesters in 1999/2000.

For B.C. college transfer students with an associate degree, a minimum GPA of
2.00 will be required consistent with Senate policy.
Admission Targets by Faculty for
1999/2000
In 1998 Senate approved the policy
of admission of new students to specific
Faculties commencing in 1998-3. Separate admission targets for new students are
therefore being proposed in 1999/2000 for each Faculty as shown in Table 2. The
target for Applied Science is the sum over each of Computing Science,
Communications, Engineering Science, and Kinesiology. Note that these are admission
targets for new students to each Faculty. Each School also admits many students into
its programs through internal transfers. The Education target is an estimate of the
number of new-to-SFU students who will be admitted into the PDPIPBDIB.Ed.
programs.
