Introduction

The 2003 Enrolment Plan gave direction and set overarching goals regarding the size and composition of the student body.

Each Fall, at the end of the fifth week of classes, a snapshot of our enrolment is taken and the data is compiled to provide an overview of our progress towards the implementation of the Plan goals. This year, we have added several new elements to this

Enrolment Report. For the first time, we are reporting Spring and Summer enrolment figures. As well, we have included several graphs and charts to more clearly illustrate enrolment trends.

We are operating in an environment where there is intense competition among Canadian post-secondary education institutions and a declining pool of high school graduates. The Saskatchewan high school population declined by over 10% over a six-year period (99/00 - 05/06), and this trend will accelerate over the next few years.

Some of the basic changes in the composition of the University’s enrolment since 2003 are as follows:

• Undergraduate population down -5.3%

• Graduate Student population up +28.8%

• Post-Graduate Clinical population up +26.4%

• Non-degree population is down 33.3%

The Second Integrated Plan was adopted with these changes and challenges in mind. Two key commitments will be measured in part by the annual Enrolment Report: “Diverse Body of Students” and “Retention Strategies and Initiatives”. Both of these commitments have as an Executive Sponsor Vice-Provost Ernie Barber, who will be working to implement an Enrolment Action

Plan.

In the future, we will be reporting on enrolment within the conceptual framework and the commitments established in the

Second Integrated Plan and the Enrolment Action Plan.

Summary

Of particular note this year:

• undergraduate head counts are down 352 (-2.14%)

• graduate headcounts are up 156 (+7.01%)

• we have included geographic data for direct-entry colleges (out-of-province, international and Saskatchewan summaries) separated into new and total students.

• enrolment in Open Studies is down 34.2% over 2007 (ongoing planned reduction)

• total enrolment in non-direct entry colleges continues to be stable, with modest growth in several areas

• for the first time in a Census Day report we have included data Spring and Summer Session

Overall Enrolment

• Enrolment Plan Target (2010) Key dimension: 21,000 students in undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

• 2001-2002 Baseline data: Total headcount of 19,482.

• 2008 data: 19,201

The Enrolment Plan established a requirement for a steadily increasing total population, approaching 21,000 by 2010. In recognition of the current environment, the Second Integrated Plan simply emphasizes the need for stable undergraduate enrolment or potential growth through increased retention and participation rates; the plan also continues to expect growth in graduate enrolment.

Overall enrolment is down 196 students (-1.05%).

Graduation Statistics

A complement to our enrolment numbers is our graduation statistics. These remain very stable, but reflect a recent trend away from the awarding of non-degree certificates but a steady increase in the number of graduate degrees and awarded.

Undergraduate Enrolment

• Enrolment Plan Target (2010): Increase our undergraduate student population to a headcount of 18,500.

The current Integrated Plan emphasizes the need for stable undergraduate enrolment and potential growth through increased retention and participation rates. This year undergraduate enrolment is down 2.14% (352 students). This decline in the undergraduate population appears to be reflected mainly in the decrease in the new students numbers.

The most dramatic area of change in the undergraduate population is in the Open Studies program. The Enrolment Plan called for major changes to what was then called “Unclassified Studies.” Since 2003, enrolment in Open Studies has declined from

1,858 to 506 (-73%). Initially, many students successfully transitioned into other Colleges.

E N R O L M E N T R E P O R T C E N S U S D AY – O C T O B E R 0 9 , 2 0 0 8

Currently, our graduate student population is 12.3% of our total student numbers.

The graduate student population has a five-year average growth rate of 5.2%, growing 28.8% overall since 2003 (532 students).

At the same time, there has been a decline of 5.3% in the undergraduate population since 2003 (899 students). However, the vast majority of the undergraduate decline can be attributed to the decline in Open Studies (see page 5). This has been offset by some extent by increased direct-entry enrolment over the same time period.

Diversity

The Integrated Plan requires us to transform the composition of our student body by attracting a diverse group of students from other parts of Canada and from around the world.

Key dimension: International student enrolments will increase to 7-8% of the overall enrolment targets for the

University by 2010.

Baseline data: Saskatchewan has established itself as an attractive destination for international students. International enrolment at the undergraduate level was approximately 4% in 2001-02.

The University of Saskatchewan has been collecting equity data since 2002. Students may self-identify as being of Aboriginal ancestry, a member of a visible minority, and/or as having a disability. Self-identification is voluntary and these numbers are believed to be lower than the actual numbers of students in these groups. As an example, Disability Services for Students has over 600 students registered with their office.

Retention

“Retention Strategies and Initiatives” is one of the 20 commitments in the Second Integrated Plan. Vice-Provost Ernie Barber is the Executive Sponsor. Tom Steele and Susan Bens are the Commitment Co-Leaders.

Several programs have been implemented to support student first-year transition, especially among our students moving from first-year to second-year. Examples of these programs include: University Life 101, the Aborginal First-Year Experience Program, and the Arts and Science Transition Program offered at Royal West College.

A thorough analysis of retention rates based on the 2008 data has not yet been completed. A retention reporting mechanism is under development.

3 Credit Unit Equivalent Data

*The credit unit data reported for 2006 and 2007 is based on all activity to April 30; this means that 2008 data is incomplete at this time.

Historical trend lines indicate that this figure will grow between 4,000 and 5,000 3CUE by April 30, 2008.

Retention Data

The U of S Retention Study defined retention as degree completion, continued studies (continuing student type) or transfer to another U of S college (internal transfer). In the baseline data, retention rates from first year to second year were approximately 72.5%. First-to-second year retention rates for 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 have remained consistent with the original findings. A more detailed report on retention will be presented to the Council after February Census Day.

It is interesting to note that the number of graduate credentials granted has been increasing each year since 2004.

Education Equity Data

The University of Saskatchewan has been collecting equity data since 2002. Students may self-identify as being of Aboriginal ancestry, a member of a visible minority, and/or as having a disability. Self-identification is voluntary and these numbers are believed to be lower than the actual numbers of students in these groups. As an example, Disability Services for Students has over 600 students registered with their office.

Definitions

Levels: The levels that are included in reporting are undergraduate, graduate, post-grad clinical and nondegree.

Undergraduate includes all undergraduate colleges

(Agriculture & Bioresources, Arts & Science, Business,

Engineering, Kinesiology, Dentistry, Education, Law,

Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy & Nutrition, and Veterinary

Medicine) and Open Studies

Direct entry programs are undergraduate-level programs that students may be admitted directly from high school; they do not require any post-secondary education in order to qualify for admission. Programs included in this category are: Agriculture & Bioresources,

Arts & Science, Business, Kinesiology and Engineering.

Non-direct entry programs are undergraduate-level programs that students require post-secondary education in order to qualify to admissions. Programs in this category are: Dentistry, Education, Law, Medicine,

Pharmacy & Nutrition and Veterinary Medicine.

Graduate includes students enrolled in doctoral, master’s, and post-graduate diploma programs as well as those who have not yet declared a program

Post-Grad Clinical includes Medicine and Dentistry residents

Non-Degree includes students registered in non-degree certificate and diploma programs

Distinct Student Populations:

XNEPS Yr 1 and Yr 2: students who have been admitted to the NEPS program and are enrolled in Yr 1 or Yr2 at

SIAST and who are not taking any U of S classes

ESL: students who are participating in English as a

Second Language programs at the U of S Language

Center

IMG: individuals who are participating in the

International Medical Graduate program through the

College of Medicine

Student Type:

New students: students who have been admitted with no prior post-secondary

Special Admission: students who are 21 years of age and did not meet regular admission requirements

Provisional Admission: students who did not meet regular admission or special admission requirements

External Transfer: students who have been admitted with prior postsecondary education

Internal Transfer: current U of S students who have transferred colleges

Returning: students who attended the U of S at one time, left the institution for a period of time, and returned to the college in which they were previously enrolled

Continuing: current U of S students who are continuing their studies in the same college

Visiting: students who are attending the U of S, but with the intent to transfer the course-work to another institution

Audit: students who are taking classes for interest as opposed to credit

Composition of the Undergraduate Student Body

International students: students who have a citizenship code of N

(non-Canadian citizen)

Saskatchewan students: students who have a citizenship code of C

(Canadian citizen) or P (Landed/Permanent Resident) AND who have a

Saskatchewan high school on their record. Saskatchewan high schools are identified by an SK identifier.

Out-of-province students: students who have a citizenship code of C

(Canadian Citizen) or P (Landed/Permanent Resident) AND who do not have a Saskatchewan high school on their record. That is, the high school identifier is something other than SK.

Undeclared students: students who have a citizenship code of C

(Canadian Citizen) or P (Landed/Permanent Resident) AND who do not have a high school on their student record. This generally includes students who are admitted under special or provisional admission, but it is not exclusive to these student types. Until more is known about the origin of these students we have decided to report them separately.

We do know that they are not international and suspect that most are

Saskatchewan residents.
