Benchmark Progress Detail• Progress slower than desired– Program limitations– Enrollment Management limitations
• New in 2015 because of revised definitions• Incorporate aggressive growth targets for U/G
Budget Summary• FY 2015 Budget: $68,857 • Expenses as of report date– $41,455 expended– $16,400 encumbered
• Anticipated remainder June 30 < $0
Accomplishments Since Plan Inception
• Vastly improved student & faculty services• Trained over 150 faculty members in OICC• Received approval for online in 49 states• Fourteen online degrees added (39 total)• Online enrollment management overhauled
Looking Ahead - Recommendations• Expand market research• Improve CRM system• Evaluate recruiting system• Expand online student services• Baseline marketing and recruitment budgets• Expand number of “starts” beyond 3
Foreseeable Roadblocks• Cost per student will increase as numbers grow• Additional staff or outside services needed• Additional faculty will be required• Current data systems may not support• Can we manage 2 calendars with 1 faculty
New points of emphasisThe increased scale of the desired growth requires different tactics. We will need significant changes in our processes/systems within two years. Our current focus is on quantifying those changes.
Missed opportunities• Data limitations may have slowed
implementation• Infrastructure and program growth were
necessary first steps• Additional resources may have sped the process
but would have also created organizational friction
Baseline Recommendation
Extended Learning clearly has primary responsibility for management and leadership of online programs. Ongoing expenditures for marketing, recruiting and faculty development should be included in base budgets rather than annual strategic planning proposals.
Opportunities for Collaborations• Crossover with enrollment management for
on-campus transfers could be expanded• Marketing and recruitment initiatives for
online graduate programs could easily be expanded to all graduate programs
