SCSU Recruiting/Retention
Major Internal/External Challenges!
Course availability:
For New Entering Freshmen
For New Entering Transfers
For Returning Students (backlog)

“The inability to be able to plan a degree program…The lack of available seats in
required courses represents the greatest challenge for students and generate a
considerable amount of anger and frustration to students. The difficulty in getting
courses is no doubt the biggest factor in the extended time it takes to graduate.
Furthermore, SCSU is reportedly becoming known in the community for the
difficulty students have in needed classes, a situation that effects not only
retention but also recruitment.”
Noel-Levitz, Nov. 28, 2000
SCSU Consultant Report
Have added approximately 1700 more Gen Ed seats
this fall vs. last fall. New freshmen/transfers are more
satisfied with seat availability/course selection.
