Strategic Enrollment Management

Aligned with UMD’s mission and vision statements, strategic enrollment management (SEM) is an evolving learner-centered approach to integrating all programs, practices, policies, and planning related to achieving the optimal recruitment, retention, and graduation of students. 

SEM is aligned with system goals and will be reported in the UMD Accountability Report to the Board of Regents.

Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Council

In September 2011, Chancellor Black and Interim EVCAA Tsai appointed the SEM Council. The council is charged with providing leadership and oversight to the implementation of four action steps from the 2011 UMD Strategic Plan:

Goal #1, action step #2. Establish undergraduate enrollment targets based on capacity to deliver quality programs, student and societal demands, academic preparation of incoming students, and tuition revenue needs.

Goal #1, action step #3. Identify, prioritize and assess activities, using tools such as the Student Success Strategy Map, that support student achievement of UMD's learning goals, student success, satisfaction, and graduation rates. [Note: The SEM activities related to this goal are those that contribute to retention and graduation; other activities and functions related to student learning, engagement, etc. will be addressed by other groups.]

Goal #2, action step #2. Implement effective, measurable processes to recruit, retain, and support diverse students [faculty and staff].

Goal #3, action step #5. Implement a comprehensive plan to attract, retain, and serve high caliber graduate students.
