  2. Agenda • Enrollment Updates • Campus Life Updates • Strategic Plan • Budget • Changes in Staffing and Departments • Lassen Hall Remodel plans • Campus Communications (Crises weather related etc.) • Employee Expectations • Service Awards 5, 10, 15 years

  3. Improving the Admission Process • Provided to applicants a more timely notification of acceptance. Typical “turn-around” time is averaging two weeks • Increased Spring undergraduate applications by 3.5% over Spring 2007 • Increased Spring admits by 11% (compared to last Spring). • Fall 2008 Undergraduate Applications (as of 2/15/08) are up 8.2% (23,236 received to date) – March 1 App Deadline

  4. Improving the Admissions Process (cont) • Undergraduate Admits are up 85% (11,333 admitted to date) due to aggressive admissions recruitment, communications and processing • Hired a Seasonal Recruitment Team (10 PT Staff) and deployed them to So California, the Bay Area and targeted Sacramento areas. They’re focused on increasing applications before March 1.  Afterwards, they will focus on increasing yield and bolstering transfer recruitment

  5. Improving TCE Services • Completed Spring 2008 Transfer Credit Evaluations (TCEs) for new admits who have complete files. This is a first! • Note: Fall 2007 TCEs for new admits with completed files were completed before students began Spring 2008 registration in late November…another first. • Began to process Fall 2008 TCEs on Tuesday January 22nd (also a first) with the goal to have majority completed before the fall semester begins.

  6. Improving Financial Aid Services Increased Spring financial aid disbursements by over 8 million dollars

  7. Improving Financial Aid (cont) • This represents a total increase in initial disbursements of 24.9% for Spring 2008. • On-going Spring 2008 disbursements continue to outpace Spring 2007 • FA staff reports that this was their easiest spring start in years (fewer students in-line, minimal problems – even with the FFELP lenders!)

  8. Improving Financial Aid (cont) Identified and marketed February as Financial Aid Awareness Month. This is a new, multi-pronged marketing strategy to inform students about the need to file the FAFSA before March 2, 2008.  The goal is to have a significant increase in the timely completion of FAFSAs.
