  1. Financial Planning and Accounting for the Q2S Conversion Ms. Lisa EasonMr. Ken Kincaid

  2. Three Questions • How’d we get into this ? • How do we prepare for this? • How do we make it through the first year?

  3. How’d we get into this ? • Academic folks said: Convert to semesters and it will be good for students • Business folks said: But this is a huge project, we’re just recovering from mergers, state revenue has crashed, it will impact the entire system’s operations, it’s very expensive, enrollment will drop, and the Regents’ experience has spooked everyone who witnessed it.

  4. Conversion will be Good for Students • But it will be expensive • There are no state funds for this • We’ll need Other Funds: tuition, fees, etc • Tuition will need to go up $5 per hr in FY11 • Tuition will need to go up $5 per hr in FY12 • We’ll need tuition at $50 per quarter hr to make this happen

  5. OK. We’ll raise tuition.The conversion will be good for students

  6. Not Enough Money. Conversion may cost $80M+ $92,000,000 $81,000,000 $54,000,000 -7% Enrollment, -13% FTE -9% Enrollment, -15% FTE -3% Enrollment, -8% FTE

  7. Conversion will be Good for Students • Need Accumulated Reserves • Not enough Other Funds annually • Need to accumulate funds over two years • Carryover statute must be renewed • Carryover statute should include tuition revenue • Caps on reserves must be high enough to cover at least $80M cost of conversion

  8. OK. We’ll fix the carryover.The conversion will be good for students HB 1128 as Passed OCGA 20-4-21.1. Revenue collected by any or all institutions under the Technical College System of Georgia from tuition, departmental sales or services, continuing education fees, technology fees, or indirect cost recoveries shall not lapse. The amount of revenue from tuition that shall not lapse under this Code section shall not exceed 15 percent of the tuition collected. This Code section shall stand repealed on June 30, 2010 2013."

  9. But there will be fewer terms… Longer terms. • All course-related costs and credits will have to be recalculated • Tuition • Fees • Course load • Credit hours

  10. The conversion will be good for students We’ll just recalculate the rates.

  11. Enrollment will drop. Revenue will fall. • Cost Model produced the following scenarios: • Scenario A—Enrollment decline of 3%; FTE decline of 8% • Scenario B—Enrollment decline of 7%; FTE decline of 13% • Scenario C—Enrollment decline of 9%; FTE decline of 15%

  12. Conversion will be Good for Students • Maintaining enrollment is critical • Student Advisement can maintain FTE’s • Public information • System-wide education • Advisement software • Leadership Summit

  13. That’s how we came to the semester conversion.

  14. How do we prepare for this? • Admin has a supporting role, once again • Maintaining FTE levels is critical to funding • Advisement is critical to maintaining FTE levels • Supporting Advisement is critical • Conversion will be good for students • If done right, it could also be good for the business office.

  15. Good Advisement, Good Investment

  16. Poor Advisement, Very Expensive

  17. Excellent Advisement, Very Rewarding

  18. Enrollment’s Impact on Fee Revenue

  19. Hold on to Headcount

  20. Summary of Advisement Payback

  21. Advisement is Critical • Poor advisement could result in a loss of $60M • Good advisement could result in a gain of $18M • System stake is $78M • Will you support the implementation of the student advisement plan at your college? • YES is the correct answer.

  22. How do we make it through the first year? • Plan • Support student advisement • Salvage something out of the transitional half-quarter • Support year-round programs • Don’t panic
