911³Ô¹Ï

The following guidelines, drawn from the 911³Ô¹Ï Long-Range Strategic Enrollment Plan (2021-2027), provide an institution-wide framework for developing enrollment goals, strategies and tactics, while recognizing that enrollment priorities will vary across academic units:

• Anticipate targeted growth in areas consistently in high demand and through new programs aligned with market factors, while maintaining 911³Ô¹Ï’s commitment to broad-based education to develop informed citizens and meet the needs of society.
• Admit a highly qualified and diverse body of students who are likely to be retained and successful.
• Embed equity, diversity, and inclusion principles within enrollment planning.
• Acknowledge the important role that graduate and undergraduate students play in enhancing 911³Ô¹Ï’s research mission, while recognizing that many students enter 911³Ô¹Ï to seek the enhanced career opportunities afforded to those with advanced degrees.
• Increase the participation and broaden the program registration of Indigenous students.
• Seek to broaden the countries of origin and 911³Ô¹Ï program destinations of our international student population, diversifying our student body and mitigating the institutional risk of relying on attracting a significant portion of our international students from relatively few countries of origin.
• Recognize that strategically managed growth of our student body plays a critical role in sustaining the fiscal environment needed for 911³Ô¹Ï to pursue its strategic vision.

Improvements in graduation rates and times to degree completion also feature prominently in the plan.
