Strategic Enrollment Planning

In 2020-2021, the Austin Community College District Strategic Enrollment Committee guided ACC’s collective vision to develop a three-year comprehensive plan for new student enrollment. This plan (see below) aligns with ACC’s Strategic Plan to increase ACC enrollment to 85,000 annual students in 2030 through equity-focused connection and entry processes.

In 2021-2022, the Chancellor’s Priorities embraced the Strategic Enrollment Management focus on equity and placed it in Priority One: Reduce Equity Gaps. As Strategy 4, Increase enrollment through implementation of Strategic Enrollment Plan Strategies and Tactics, the strategies for the year are:

  1. Financial Support: Increase student access to financial support resources
  2. Market Opportunities: Increase market-penetration in key areas
  3. Increase Registration: Increase annual unduplicated enrollment for new students
  4. SEM Phase 2: Develop the Retention and Completion Component of the SEM Plan and Key Goals
