Question #7: Does next year's budget assume any change in the size of the student body?


Next year's budget includes a more realistic estimate of the number of students rather than a planned increase in actual enrollment. The number of students assumed for budgeting purposes increases by 45, from 1355 to 1400. As shown below, the actual number of students on campus this year is 1404; we project that the average of both semesters next year will be 1417.

Fall/Spring Enrollment

 
Introduction
Question #1: Will the overall base budget increase next year? If so, how do we plan to spend the increased revenue?
Question #2: What are the biggest pieces of next year's budget?
Question #3: Why does our comprehensive fee go up so fast? Has it been going up faster, more slowly, or the same as other schools?
Question #4: I have heard that there are some big changes in financial aid next year. Can you explain what is happening?
Question #5: Can you explain again what the tuition discount rate is? I can never keep straight whether improving this number means making it higher or lower....
Question #6: When does our fiscal year begin and end?
Question #8: How have allocations to the functional areas of the College changed over time?
Question #9: Will all these new facilities that we are building leave us with less money in the base budget?
Question #10: Who is on the Budget Steering Committee and why?
