1996 Enrollment Trend Analysis

Abstract

The Office of Institutional Planning & Analysis has analyzed end of session enrollment for the past ten years. The attached study employs a moving mean statistic in relation to actual enrollment. The model used in this study uses past enrollment to predict future enrollment.To accurately determine if an enrollment shift from one year to the next indicates increase or decline, actual enrollment data, moving mean, standard deviation, and predicted range are summarized in this study. Data are based on end of session enrollment for all four terms at each campus and college-wide.
