ENR - Enrolments Projections Grid
Enrolment Projects Grid Overview
With this program you can forecast your future student numbers for multiple years ahead. The forecast is based on user defined probabilities for each Enrolment Stage and each future year. This is a powerful way to forecast and analyse future enrolment numbers for your school.
To use this program, you must setup at least one Enrolment Projects Configuration which defines the number of future years to forecast and the probabilities to use for each of these years.
Before using this program, you must have your 'Enrolment Stages' and 'Enrolment Budget' setup.
Enrolments Projections Configuration
This is where you set the probability for a student to become an accepted enrolment based upon where they are in the enrolment process and how many years ahead of their possible enrolment. You can save multiple configurations to see how different scenario's would affect the number of students that will be coming into your school in future years.
For example, if you want to forecast your student enrolments for one year ahead, you could set the probability of a student who had received a prospectus who then goes on to become an enrolled student at 20%. If they pay a holding fee, there might be a 70% chance, and if they get offered a place, a 90% chance. You can do the same thing for two, three, five, etc. years ahead to creating a sophisticated model of future student enrolments.
If you are including multiple enrolment status in your configuration and are including multiple years, you must do all of the enrolment statuses for a single year before adding enrolment statuses for subsequent years.
Fields that require detailed explanation | |
---|---|
Public | Tick to enable other users of TASS.web to see and use this Projection Configuration. Other users will not be able to edit or delete it (only the creator can). |
Years Ahead | This must be between 1 and 99 years ahead and when creating a configuration for multiple years, the numbers must be sequential. |
Enrolment Stage | Select the Enrolment Stages to use in your forecast. You can include one or more enrolment status. The Enrolment Stages are defined in program Student Admin > Enrolments > Setup Information > Enrolments Setup on the 'Status' tab |
Probability | Enter a number to represent the % of students at that enrolment stage that you expect to become a student. To determine what probability to enter, look at your historical data of the actual percentages of students who became an accepted enrolment from each stage of the enrolment process. |
Enrolments Projections Grid
On the grid you can view enrolment projections, add a new projection configuration, edit an existing projection and generate a report of your projection. There are filters at the top of the screen to breakdown the data by Gender, Campus and Boarder status.
Grid Columns
Fields that require detailed explanation | |
---|---|
Current Students | The current student numbers at the school. |
New in YYYY | YYYY is each year between the current year and the Year selected in the filter at the top of the screen. For each YYYY, it is calculated based on the Projection Configuration that has been selected at the top of the screen |
Continuing in YYYY | YYYY is the year selected in the 'Projection Year' filter. For each year group, it is calculated by taking the numbers in the preceding ‘New Students in YYYY’ column and the ‘Current Students’ column. For example, if the current year is 2021 and the 'Projection Year' is 2024:
You can hover over each number to see the breakdown of:
|
New Students in YYYY | YYYY is the year selected in the 'Projection Year' filter. It is calculated based on the Projection Configuration that has been selected at the top of the screen. |
Total in YYYY | It is the total of “Continuing in YYYY” plus “New Students in YYYY”. |
Budget for YYYY | These are entered in program Student Admin > Enrolments > Setup Information > Enrolments Budget. |
Variance | It is “Total in YYYY” minus “Budget for YYYY” |
