Controlling Enrollment Size to
Maintain Quality and Budget Stability
 GOAL: Keep the fall 2010 freshman class size
close to 2009 class of 1,135 new students
 After May 14 a decision will be made about deferring
new freshmen admits, who have not deposited, to the
Spring 2011 semester
 A waiting-list system will be used to allow deferred
students to enroll if any spaces develop due to a late
withdrawal or cancellation
 Deferred students will be encouraged to enroll at one of
S&T’s 52 transfer partner institutions
