Enrollment Planning

AIM has lead responsibility for support of enrollment planning at UCLA.  It acts as liaison between systemwide enrollment planners at the Office of the President and local enrollment planning.  Because state funding is tied to enrollment, projecting and reporting enrollment accurately is critical.

AIM provides campus leaders with forecasts of continuing enrollment and analyses of various alternatives for shaping future enrollments to fit campus strategic goals.  The alternatives may include varying admissions by headcount, level, term, or academic unit.  The unit maintains an enrollment flow model that it uses for these analyses.  It also works closely with Undergraduate Admissions, Graduate Admissions, Summer Sessions, Student Housing, and the academic units to keep abreast of new policies and emerging issues that might need to be factored into analyses.  Enrollment planning may also require forecasting the instructional workload impacts of different admissions scenarios. Finally, AIM assists in developing and monitoring enrollment information related to the campus long range development plan.

AIM may also be asked to provide analyses of potential changes in enrollment management policies.  "Enrollment  management" can entail admissions requirements, financial support rules and allocation methodologies, unit load policies, general education requirements, and other factors that influence enrollment and retention. AIM serves as staff to the Chancellor's Enrollment Advisory Committee and the UCLA Academic Senate's Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools (CUARS) AIM provides several web reports that may be of interest to departments and to individuals outside the university, as shown below.
