Controlling Enrollment Size to Maintain Quality and Budget Stability
GOAL: Keep the fall 2010 freshman class size close to 2009 class of 1,135 new studentsAfter May 14 a decision will be made about deferring
new freshmen admits, who have not deposited, to the Spring 2011 semester
A waiting-list system will be used to allow deferred students to enroll if any spaces develop due to a late withdrawal or cancellation
Deferred students will be encouraged to enroll at one of S&T’s 52 transfer partner institutions
