by

Read the latest edition of Inside Higher Education’s report of their survey of college and university admissions directors. Review a few archives of Inside Higher Education’s admissions section of their website. Additionally, review the American Association for Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) website. Locate two primary sources of interest that you will use for your final admission policy report (e.g., a policy report, statistical trends, discussion papers, research reports, etc.).

Identify and assess the types of policies that are most likely to help students overcome barriers to higher education. Consider how the interventions and perspectives listed in those reports intersect with the policies designed to increase college students’ preparation for higher education.

  1. Describe the intended outcomes of the policy on student attainment, retention, and completion. Consider the current state of the institution; what are some reasons for implementing this policy? What are the potential impacts to the institution if the policy is not implemented? How might the policy alter the current state of the institution?
  2. Analyze the impact of institutional operations for increasing enrollment, retention, and completion through implementation of this policy.
  3. Describe how this policy may have an impact on the future demographics of the institution. What are the key considerations of the stakeholders,culture, enrollment, retention, and completion regarding future demographics of the institution?
