Enrollment and Retention:
V-READY will be available to students on Wednesdays from 9:30-4pm and Fridays from 9:30-2pm so students can get 'registration ready' for Summer and Fall 2026.
Readmission Fee - the fee is being waived for Summer & Fall 2026.
Dept Listening Sessions - EM along with Advisement and Registrar (as requested) has met with 8 departments: Accounting & Finance, Behavioral Science, Biology, OT, Social Work, Teacher Education Nursing and Exercise Science. I encourage other departments to request a listening session so we can meet and discuss how EM can be helpful in removing barriers for our students.
Admissions Funnel:
The admissions funnel indicates the number of student applications vs admitted vs committed to the college as compared to last year.
Admissions staff work on contacting students to help them move through the funnel.
