Meeting Notes:
1. Welcome and Review & Approval of Minutes. Approved and seconded.
a. Impact of pursuit of CSUCI seeking “General Approval” designation – current
enrollment activities are not impacted, except for closing of Masters of English. Five
students will receive application refunds; the English dept. has contacted these students
and enrollment services is working with cashiers on the refund.
2. Research: Overlapping Application Analysis (Kelly) Two hypothesis:
 size of institution somehow having impact and
 distance - numbers seem random.
As the university gets bigger there is a marked decline in overlap. Take out Northridge
there seems to be no relationship between enrollment and distance. We overlap with
smaller campuses rather than larger ones. Gender imbalance seems to have to do with
small campus – small universities seem to attract more female students (safety).
(Ballman): Quick survey of 30 classmates at Camarillo High. Questions posed were what
are your plans for college and what have you heard about CSUCI, have you visited the
campus.
3. Recruitment:
a. SEM Plan Review 2008-2009
b. Targeted groups
i. Under-represented schools (Reyes)

Jane is meeting with Hueneme & Santa Paula (P-16) to strengthen
communication & relationships. Phil: Science Faculty was invited
to judge the Science Fair at Hueneme High school.
We are working with AVID programs at high schools to target
these groups.
In collaboration with financial aid and student transition programs,
presenting monthly to Migrant Ed parents.

ii Scholarships (Matthews) –
 Currently expecting to award 90 plus scholarships – we have 14
different type of institutional scholarships.
 Attempting to yield more high-end students. Application is on-line;
several improvements were made to the process; expectation is a
larger pool.


Tools to spread the word on scholarships: Link on home page;
sending out global e-mail; advertised through Hobson’s; RA in
housing were advised to spread the word; posters in various areas
of campus; e-mail to high school counselors; recruiters take flyers
to college fairs. Presidential Scholarship application deadline is
March 2nd. Other scholarships to Feb 15. Students have to have a
3.0 GPA.
We will send out Presidential scholarship 3.75 GPA letter to
parents.
Credential students have just recently been admitted – can we find
a way to send it to them?
4. Retention/Student Success
a. Preliminary Registration (Blue) –
 For Spring 743 of eligible continuing students have not enrolled. We will contact
them and encourage them.
 Dis-enroll dates for non payment date is Jan 4.
 On line payment seems to be going smoothly. Cannot use VISA as we are
outsourcing – VISA charges too much. We offer just about any other credit card.
5. Topics for 2008 (all)
Gill: Baseline market research survey hopefully done by April. Target audience probably
will be perspective students, donors, community, faculty, public business staff.
Wants to spend time closely where we spend our advertising dollars.
What are we doing for retention?
Eyermann Priorities: Timeline on yield and retention studies
Likes to know more about 1st year programs, perhaps a presentation about U100 and
U110. Probably not possible until March.
