Dear Campus Community,
Please find attached the Enrollment & Retention Management Update for July 2026. In addition to reporting enrollment targets, we are also providing a list of important dates and recruitment activities. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information.
Enrollment:
This chart below reflects our Fall 2026 numbers as of July 3, 2026.
In addition, I've attached the CUNY Dashboard Report, also dated 7-3-26.
This report compares our enrollment with the other CUNY colleges.
Enrollment Target:
Our Enrollment Target is 6,750 students; we are currently at 3,197 students.
Date to Date Comparison:
July 3, 2026: 3,197
July 3, 2025: 2,860
We are 11.8% higher in our enrollment than we were on the same date last year.
We are 12.3% higher in our FTE's than we were on the same date last year.
Special Programs:
Although not tracked as their own entity on the chart above, I did want to include our special programs. Unfortunately, the CUNY Dashboard does not have comparison data by category, but we are able to compare TOTAL enrollment.

Readmission Fee - the fee is being waived for Summer & Fall 2026. The deadline to apply for Fall readmission is Monday, August 17th.
Dept Listening Sessions - EM along with Advisement and Registrar (as requested) has met with several departments. 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.
