Enrollment Management Committee
Mission and Role :
Enrollment management at UW Tacoma is the concept that systematic coordination and communication of campus-wide activities influencing students’ choice of college, transition to college, persistence while attending college, and the learning outcomes of their education will maximize the principal goals of the University—planned growth consistent with the values, vision and goals of the institution, access to educational and professional opportunities for students, faculty, staff and surrounding communities, the successful preparation of students for participation in a diverse and increasingly complex world, and a University-wide culture of transparency, collaboration and cooperation. It attempts to foster an organizational atmosphere that makes reporting relationships among student service units cooperative and effective in the interests of student success.
Many areas of the university—Academic Affairs and Programs; the Office of the Chancellor; Faculty Assembly; Enrollment Services; Student Affairs; Diversity; Marketing and Advancement; Administrative Services and Finance; and Institutional Research and Planning—share responsibility for managing the university’s enrollment, and the Enrollment Management Committee provides the forum for effectively linking their efforts to meet university objectives. Enrollment Services, whose recruitment, admissions, financial aid and registration functions are directly related to student progress, has a primary role in this linkage. Regularly informed by data from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, the committee gathers, discusses and makes recommendations to appropriate bodies on enrollment information received from all areas of the university. Its responsibilities also include:
- Guidance and direction to divisions of the university on the implementation of enrollment goals and activities; Advice and assistance to the strategic planning process on the University’s planned growth;
- Development of and recommendations on enrollment management strategies and policies
- Oversight and monitoring of the work of four subcommittees—Implementation, Retention, Recruitment and Publications.
