Please note that the goal of trying to increase the number of packaged financial aid students by 5% comparing August 1 from one year to the
next is no longer a feasible goal. As you can see, we have mastered the number of people packaged by that time consistently for the last 3
years. Since our enrollment/population is really not increasing by that much from year to year, a 5% increase is no longer an effective goal to
shoot for or an accurate measurement to make. Instead, the more positive outcome would be to look at how much we have improved in the %
packaged prior to July 1 or June 1 each year. This shows that students are getting packaged earlier. For now, we can definitely strive to package
students earlier than the year before provided all new year software updates are released by Banner Ellucian and loaded in to our system by our
Computer Services Department in a timely manner. However, this too, at some point, will not be a feasible goal because we don't have any say
in when the new year updates are actually released to schools (usually March if no issues). For a future goal, we may need to isolate and assess a
specific population of students and focus on increasing the % packaged by a certain date, etc. I'll have to think about it. Please share with Dr.
Dial so that we can remove the 5% increase from next year's goals.
