Advance Track

Faculty, drawn from distinguished, senior GACRAO enrollment officers, focus on global issues of enrollment management practices for admission and registrar professionals. Advance track sessions address the needs of experienced enrollment professionals involved in production, goals, outcomes, quality, standards, accountability, conversions, yields, budgets, personnel and headcount. For promising new professionals, focusing on these SEM essentials also enhances career path awareness.

The Institute begins with a Core SEM survey presentation and is followed by five dedicated advance track sessions that are delivered by veteran professionals and industry consultants.

The Introductory SEM Session (repeated each year) provides an overview of SEM including its mission definition, institutional culture, trends, and future implications. Participants will be guided to the value of having a SEM Plan and supportive relationships that nurture this culture on your campus. Returning participants will attend a special cohort discussion class session during this same time slot.
