2010 - 2011

Enrollment Management, Assistant Vice President

Goal
Transfer Scholarships
Transfer scholarships will be given more expediently.


Objective
Award Transfer Scholarships
Eligible students who transfer to SHSU from other universities or community colleges will be awarded scholarships.


Indicator
Percentage Of Transfer Scholarships Awarded
The percentage of transfer scholarships awarded will serve as the indicator of success.


Criterion
95% Transfer Scholarship Awards
95% of Transfer Scholarships will be successfully awarded.


Finding
Streamlined Approach
The addition of new Cognos Reports through Banner has expedited the identification of eligible transfer students so that notification of scholarship award has also been expedited.  We were able to award approximately 95% of the scholarships to eligible transfer students. However, we did miss some eligible students who were later identified by other methods.

Action
Additional Reports Needed
Although the available Cognos reports have been extremely helpful in identifying eligible students, additional reports are needed to approach 100% identification. Enrollment Management will be working with the Banner Cognos system to generate additional reports associated with identification of eligible transfer students.

Goal
Transfer Student Enrollment
Increase Transfer Student Enrollment at SHSU

Objective
Increase Transfer Student Enrollment
To increase transfer student enrollment over past year, SHSU will analyze transfer student trends.

Indicator
Transfer Enrollment
The objective will be measured by the actual transfer enrollment for 2009-2010.

Criterion
5% Increase
Transfer enrollment will increase by 5% over the past year.

Finding
8% Increase
There were 163 additional transfer students in Fall 2010 than in Fall 2009 for over an 8% increase.

Action
Transfer Enrollment
We will recruit in appropriate venues to increase transfer enrollment although it is a challenge in a struggling economy.


Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement

Plan for continuous improvement We were delighted by the percentage increase in transfer enrollment from last year. Recruitment will likely be enhanced by more expeditious awarding of transfer scholarships which will be improved with additional Cognos reports which we are pursuing.
