The Senate Committee on Enrollment Management and Planning (SCEMP) is

students into undergraduate programs at SFU.

New Undergraduate Admission Targets for 1997/98

Action taken by the Senate Committee on Enrollment Management and Planning at

its meeting of January 22, 1997 gives rise to the following motions for consideration

by SCAP.

The admission targets set out below are based on an increase of 1% (or 131 FTE) to

the University's funded undergraduate enrollment target for 1995/96. Please see the

attached documentation for more information.

MEMORANDUM

RE:

Undergraduate Admission

Targets for 1997/98

FROM:

W. Wattamaniuk, Director

Analytical Studies

DATE:

Enrollment Status Report

......1996197

SF0 was funded for

13,095

full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduates in

1996/97. This includes the increase of

505

funded FTE designated as a productivity

increase and requested of us by the Ministry of Education, Skills and Training

(MOEST).

Based on actual enrollments for summer, fall, and the first week of spring, I

estimate that we will surpass our funded enrollment target by9S

V1'E and will

report an actual enrollment of

13,393

FTE to MOEST.

Enrollment Funding for

1997/98

SFU has been asked to increase our FTE target for 1997/98 by 1% or 131 FTE

for a total of

13,226

FEE. This means that undergraduate enrollments need to

decrease b

167

FTE in 1997/98.

As a result of discussions with the Vice President Academic, Director of

Admissions and the Dean of Science, I am proposing enrollment and admission

targets for 1997-2, 1997-3 and 1998-1 as follows.

Admission Tar

ets by

Semester for

1997198

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 1997/98 is as follows:

785

3,180

900

4,865

Table 1 provides a comparison with actual admission numbers from previous

semesters. SFU's total intake of new students will have to decline b

about 149

students in 1997/98.

As usual, the modeling of the intake targets is constrained to ensure that

minimum entry GPAs are stable from semester to semester, 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

by Basis of Admission and b

y Semester for 1997/98

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. GRXII, B.C. College Transfer, and "Other." "Other" includes University

Transfer, Degree Holders, Mature, Out-of-Province GRXII or College Transfer,

Visiting, Special Entry, Concurrent Studies, B.C. GRXI, B.C. Technical School, etc.

I am proposing that the admission targets for each group be established as

shown below for each of the semesters in

1997/98.

The estimated minimum Grade

Point Averages required for admission are shown in Table 1.
