REPORT ON ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

At the request of the Chancellor, Mr. Michael Houston, Assistant to the Chancellor and Director of Admissions, reported on enrollment projections through 1972. The Assistant to the Chancellor reported that, at the present time, Mary Washington College is enrolling all qualified residents of Virginia who make timely applications for admission to the four-year liberal arts curriculum offered by the College. In February 1965, the College prepared the following enrollment projection for the period 1965-72:

     

Year	Residential	Non-Residential	Total
1966	1704	110	1814[1]
1968	1854	120	1974
1970	2004	120	2124
1972	2004	125	2129

The estimated enrollment for September 1967 is:

  

Residential	Non-Residential	Total
2038	153	2191

Until the situation changes and until additional information is available regarding the impact on enrollment of students from two- and four-year multi-purpose and technical institutions, no change in the projections set forth above is anticipated. It should also be noted that the 1965 projection was based on the assumption that there would be a reduction of 140 overcrowded spaces - a proposal which as yet has not been carried out.
