D. Fall 2016 Recruitment Plan

The Office of Admissions has created an implementation plan outlining recruitment strategies. These recruitment strategies are designed to strengthen relationships and outcomes with counselors, parents, and prospective students. These strategies are designed to establish enrollment pipelines to provide Kentucky State University with more applicants. This plan will serve as a roadmap and resource for University recruitment.

Recruitment goals are:

  1. Enroll 400 new students. This number includes 300 first-time college, traditional first-year, non-traditional (e.g., working adults, single parents, military), and international students. This number includes 50 new transfer students in both Fall 2015 and Spring 2016.
  2. Increase the KSU applicant pool from 5,000 to 8,000.

The complete plan will be submitted by October 30, 2015.
