Will Seymour provided an update on our student numbers in his recent intro to Pou Tukutuku. But just in case you missed this week’s newsletter, here are the points he covered.
The majority of enrolments have now been processed and we currently have 5,384 EFTS enrolled for this semester.
Our target for two weeks into Semester 1 was 5,964. This includes a buffer to account for students who withdraw from their course.
While the overarching target hasn’t been achieved, we did achieve our target for domestic new enrolments, and if we can continue to hold or improve on this it is a strong indicator of future direction.
Re-enrolments were down against target across both international and domestic students.
Our students’ experience during their first six weeks here is essential for lowering our withdrawal rate so please think about how we can all support our teaching staff during this critical period, while they focus on establishing relationships with students and settling them in.
We’ll be able to share the final EFTS and revenue figures once they’ve been reported to Council during April.
