Strategies Information • Information Technology / Systems • Identify and move toward best practices • Integrate and update to support efficient operations, quality services and analytics • Analytics • Identify and move toward best practices • Expand the use to provide for and support: • Informed decision-making • Performance assessment • Effectiveness of services and practices

  14. Strategies Constituent Services for Student Success • Academic • Enrollment • Financial • Co-curricular • Student success centric: policies, processes, workflow and participation that is student facing and focused • Personalized, high quality, and comprehensive while recognizing differences among population segments • On-line/ web-based self-service when possible; complemented by timely, responsive, personal service, follow-up, and problem resolution

  15. Targets Student Success • Retention and Graduation Rates • Increase at least 3% (institutional) • Reduce the gap for selected populations (e.g. ethnic / minority; low income; gender) • Identify distinct targets based on enrollment characteristics (on vs. off-campus; undergrad vs. grad; class level) • Employment / Continued Education Rates • Increase at least 2% (institutional) Finances – Steady and stable growth based on degree-seeking student credit hours

  18. Initiatives Current Established workgroups and charges • Targeted academic program growth (2019) • Identify opportunities for growth including new programs and multi-year cycles for market identification and development, including international. • Flexible on-line course scheduling (e.g. 8 week on-line courses) • Explore additional flexible scheduling options to support interests and needs of on-line students • Persistence (Definition: term-to-term tracking and follow-up) (2019) • Systemic processes each semester to address holds and encourage / follow-up on enrollment during priority registration and prior to leaving during the current term

Specific components currently under consideration include: • Finalize new Freshmen Admission standards • Ivy Tech / Community College partnerships • New Student Assessment and Placement for scheduling and services

  20. Initiatives Current Established workgroups and charges • Predictive modeling (2019) Definition: identifying students most likely to enroll or continue and targeting limited resources to support their enrollment efforts) • Expand current model (Admit  Enroll) to include a 2nd model (Application  Admit) • Expand current model to include multiple retention versions (each class level) • Information systems / technology Initiate review and analysis of current environment with recommendations and changes to support enrollment management activities.
