Strategic Enrollment Management

A Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Plan is a data-informed process that aligns an institution’s fiscal, academic, co-curricular and enrollment resources with its changing environment to accomplish the institution’s mission and ensure the institution’s long-term enrollment success and fiscal health.

Simply put, our goal is to move from an “enrollment by chance” approach to
“enrollment by design.” We know the culture built around Angelo State and the Ram Family is unmatched, and our SEM Plan will allow us to collaborate, educate and overcome roadblocks to help us sustain the culture we have created.

We partnered with CampusWorks to guide the development of our plan. It was created through an inclusive, collaborative process that invited students, faculty and staff to contribute their perspectives and insights.
