BACKGROUND
Enrollment Status for 2005/06 - Domestic Students
SFU was funded for 16,234 full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduates in 2005/06. This
includes approximately 296 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
64
FTE.
Enrollment Funding for 2006/07 - Domestic Students
The Provincial Government has increased our enrollment target by 334 FTh in 2006/07 to
a total of
16,568
FTE students. This includes a final increment of
26
FTh in "New Era or DTO"
programs (Computing Science and Engineering Science), a general access increase of
58
FTE
students, and an increase of
250
FTE students at SFU Surrey.
Meeting our funded enrollment target will require an intake of approximately 6,150 new
domestic undergraduates in 2006/07.
Admission Targets for 2006/07 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 specific intake
targets for Faculties are determined by further taking into account the University Enrollment Plan
which specifies the number of FTE program Majors required in each Faculty in 06/07. 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 primarily admitted into the BED, 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.

Tables 3. below provides information on the actual intake of new students in previous
years.
International Students
9
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
05/06
and 626
students registered. The FTE of all full-cost recovery international students in
05/06
is estimated
to be 1,157F1'E.
For 2006/07 the proposed target is 815 new international students and should result in a
total enrollment of 1,500 FTE. Our enrollment plan calls for an increase 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.
