This book was released on 2017 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrollment management plans have been researched and documented for the last fifty years and literature verifies that the use of these plans has only become more relevant in the 21st century. Strategies and activities for managing enrollment have been defined and shared for most types of institutions, however, there is limited research on the best practices in four-year open enrollment institutions. An institution's admissions policy, such as open enrollment, may have an impact on the approaches used in strategic enrollment management plans. Performing a survey design study on enrollment management strategies and their availability, use, and effectiveness on achieving enrollment goals has helped to define best practices in developing or refining an enrollment management plan. It has also filled a gap in the literature surrounding the best practices of strategies that should be used in these types of institutions.

Download or read book Higher Education on the Brink written by Alicia B. Harvey-Smith and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education as we have known it has now and forever dramatically changed and so must the previous models that we once held dear. Leaders must take a fresh look at how their institutions design, implement, and measure practices in strategic enrollment management and expand the model, as never before. Higher Education on the Brink: Reimagining Strategic Enrollment Management in Colleges and Universities combines strategies for enrollment enhancement with significant support for development of alternative revenue streams for overall sustainability and growth. It introduces a new model for launching highly engaged strategic planning processes for colleges and universities. With current, real-world examples, the book details how colleges can be guided by integrated strategic planning processes to recalibrate efforts that yield key results. The major difference in this work is an exacting focus on organizational culture and each facet that defines it. As colleges and universities place new focus on strategically re-imagining higher education and their role in it, Higher Education on the Brink will serve as a guide for determining what difficult questions need to be asked and how to answer those questions in a manner that will position the college for the future with support from the college community, generating increased opportunities for student and operational success.
Download or read book Critical Re approach to Higher Education Admission Policy written by ShirDonna Yvonne Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal and state policies affecting higher education, like the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1832, Brown vs. Board of Education, and Higher Education Act of 1965 have posited change regarding the proliferation of diversity and expansion of access (Thelin, 2011). I analyzed BOT policies for enrollment and conducted a socio-diagnostic CDA on the implementation of admission policy to understand the impact of the policies’ implementation. I focused on 1) exploring how open enrollment (OE) policies were constructed, 2) how institutions adopt and interpret these policies, and 3) how individuals at the institution enact these policies, by conducting a discourse-historical analysis (DHA). Open enrollment has been extensively studied at junior colleges. However, the impact of open admissions (OA) at 4-year institutions has not been intensely engaged despite its use at these types of institutions. This has left professionals to draw implications for practice from universities and colleges that are different than the ones in which they work. There are conditions that could inhibit the effectiveness of education policy implementation to include: “a lack of focus on the implementation processes when defining policies at the system level; a lack of recognition that the core of change processes require engaging people; and the fact that implementation processes need to be revised to adapt to new complex governance systems” (Viennet & Pont, 2017, p. 6). I conducted a case study investigation of open enrollment policy at a 4-year public university to understand its implementation and impact on the student experience. I used discourse-historical analysis to guide my analysis of the data. Implications were creation of a student profile, resource support matrix, and rethink of policy implementation.
Download or read book Going to College written by Don Hossler and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going to College tells the powerful story of how high school students make choices about postsecondary education. Drawing on their unprecedented nine-year study of high school students, the authors explore how students and their parents negotiate these important decisions. Family background, finances, education, information—all influence students' plans after high school and the career paths they pursue, as do the more subtle messages delivered by parents and counselors which shape adolescents' self-expectations. For high school guidance counselors, college admissions counselors, parents and teachers, and public policy makers, this book is a valuable resource that explains the decision-making process and helps adults to help students make appropriate choices. The authors identify predisposition, search, and choice as the three stages in the student decision-making process. Predisposition refers to the plans students develop for education or work after they graduate from high school. The search stage involves students discovering and evaluating a variety of colleges and universities. In the choice stage, students choose a school to attend from among a list of institutions that are being seriously considered. Understanding exactly how students move through the predisposition, search, and choice stages of the college decision-making process can help students and parents prepare themselves for this process and consider a wider array of options. For education professionals, understanding this process can lead to new initiatives to guide students and families effectively—by providing better incentives for college savings, for example, or devising more effective early information programs about postsecondary education. Going to College is the first book to seriously study over an extended period the decisions that have a pervasive and lasting impact on individual careers, livelihoods, and lifestyles. The authors conclude with important recommendations for improving academic support, exploring various financial options, providing early encouragement—in other words, for recognizing the factors that influence students' decisions, and knowing when to pay attention to them.
Download or read book Enrollment Management written by Don Hossler and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrollment management is discussed with focus on the expanding role of admissions professions and their increasing impact on institutional policymaking. Enrollment management influences the size, shape, and characteristics of a student body by directing student marketing and recruitment as well as pricing and financial aid. Attention is also directed to reasons why enrollment managers need to exert a strong influence on academic and career advising, academic assistance programs, institutional research, orientation, retention programs, and student services. Chapters cover the following topics: the demand for higher education, college choice, the effects of pricing and financial aid on attendance, recruiting high school graduates, retaining students, current research on the impact of college on students' cognitive and noncognitive growth, the impact of different kinds of colleges, the outcomes of higher education, and the future of enrollment management. The following educational outcomes are considered: the significance of higher education over a lifetime, economic and noneconomic benefits of higher education, and consumptive benefits. One chapter was contributed by Terry E. Williams: "Recruiting Graduates: Understanding Student-Institution Fit." A bibliography is included. (SW)
Download or read book Exploring Strategic Information Use in Enrollment Management at Four year Institutions of Higher Education written by Adam J. Herman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions of higher education (IHEs) engage in practices that mirror the operations of businesses, including execution of ongoing strategic management initiatives, particularly in marketing and admissions. IHEs benefit from building profiles of target customers (i.e., prospective students) and using these data to enhance recruitment campaigns. In addition to prospect-specific information, IHEs can utilize data in the external environment related to competitor institutions, market insights and knowledge, benchmarks, and other external data. Further, ongoing organizational learning activities enable processes and routines to be improved over time, with changes to contemporary practices building on, and incorporating learning from, knowledge gained from past practices. This study investigated IHEs' acquisition of external information, communication of information within the institution, and use of knowledge gained from enhanced organizational communication for the purposes of gaining or sustaining a competitive advantage. This study contributes to literature tying key strategic management frameworks to recruitment efforts in higher education, focusing on absorptive capacity and strategic learning capability in marketing and admissions. Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) allows institutions to take advantage of market information when it is assimilated across the organization. Strategic Learning Capability (SLC) describes an organization's ability to adjust organizational strategy based on acquired strategic information. Explored together in this study, these two capabilities encompass how external information is identified, shared, and utilized. In addition, the study explores the capacity of marketing and admissions units within IHEs to adapt practices in response to information acquired through Strategic Learning Capability. The overarching research question for this survey-based exploratory study is: To what extent are ACAP and SLC behaviors associated with improved outcomes in recruitment and enrollment at four-year institutions? The findings indicate that there are statistically significant but generally modest associations between ACAP/SLC and selected outcome measures in marketing and admissions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first decade of the twenty-first century draws to a close and the baby boomlet ends, America's 4,000-odd colleges and universities will once again be foced to deal with a declinging number of secondary-school graduates. Some institutions will become smaller, some will close, new student markets will develop, and students who might have selected college X in the past will select college Y instead. This volume brings into focus many of the key issues American institutions of higher education will face in the next decade as they encounter demographic changes much like those they confronted when the baby boom ended in the 1980s. Will private industries continue to try and reap financial benefits from the desire of both families and institutions for status? Is the notion of meeting the full demonstrated financial need of most admitted students gone forever? Is need-blind admission at independent colleges a thing of the past? Will the marketplace value of the SAT and ACT continue to slip? Will the goal of creating a diverse student body run into further legal challenges and roadblocks? These and other contemporary issues in new student enrollment are presented by a group of leading professionals who thoughtfully explore topics of special and passionate interest to them -- and to everyone, teachers and administrators alike, in America's colleges and universities. This is the 118th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Student Services, always an indispensable resource for vice presidents of student affairs, deans of students, student counselors, and other student services professionals.

This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many higher education institutions are dependent on student enrollment as a means to be financially stable. Institutions' dependence on enrollment is not just pertinent to private institutions; public institutions face the same enrollment concerns as government funding for higher education has decreased. To meet this concern, college and university leaders must act with innovation, strategy, and intentionality to lessen the impact of the enrollment cliff on their institutions. Leaders in higher education must consider the integration of retention into enrollment practices. Enrollment and Retention Strategies for 21st Century Higher Education addresses the looming enrollment cliff in higher education. It examines theories, practices, strategies, and innovations around enrollment and retention institutions can implement to prepare for a decline in traditional college-age individuals. Covering topics such as DEI coordination, programming education, and tuition pricing policies, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for admissions advisors, board of trustee members, college presidents, directors of admissions, enrollment management teams, higher education administrators, provosts, retention teams, student affairs professionals, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By blending norm-challenging, robust discussion on enrollment management with practical guidance for administrative and academic leaders, this book seeks to tackle long-standing issues of recruitment, retention, persistence, and completion in higher education. Traditional service delivery and the notion of “what we have always done” is no longer adequate for a new generation of college students within the evolving landscape of higher education. This text will redefine current approaches, strategies, timelines, and infrastructure for encouraging student success, communication, and delivery of student services in unique campus settings. Readers will be challenged to adapt to the shifting paradigm of enrollment management as a constant priority for university leaders who seek to shift, create, or revise enrollment planning. Discussion and recommendations in this book will reveal how a collaborative enrollment model that remains in sync with the academic enterprise can increase recruitment yield, improve student success outcomes, and impact generation of revenue. This text will provide a relevant and practical framework that guides campus policymakers to integrate academic prioritization, strategic enrollment planning, student services, and policies while emphasizing collaboration to achieve long-term and measurable outcomes.
