"Looking back, looking around, looking ahead: Thoughts on
Enrollment Management as an Emerging Profession"
How can the registrar’s office assist in “bringing in the class”? Isn’t that the responsibility of the admissions office? Actually, we’re all in this together; so we’ll discuss various strategies/activities that can be done to work together on bringing in the new freshmen as well as playing a role in the retention of all students. Be ready to share initiatives from your campus and learn what others are doing.

involving the financial aid office and their impact on recruiting,
student service, staffing levels & skills, and reporting lines. The four
models are Traditional (separate offices and reporting lines),
Enrollment Management (admissions, registrar, & financial aid reporting
to an Enrollment Manager), One-Stop or No-Stop (combining admissions,
registrar, & financial aid staffs), and Student Financial Services
(merging the bursar and financial aid offices).
2) Frequent issues
within the financial aid operation, possible causes and solutions.
