Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Plan
University of Michigan-Dearborn’s Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) plan reflects our ongoing campus efforts in meeting enrollment and student success goals as defined by our strategic plan.
Summary
Our overarching purpose remains to attract, retain and graduate students guided by our mission to offer a caring, inclusive community that commits to teaching, learning, research and scholarship, as well as access and affordability. Our campus is focused on implementing strategic initiatives that support our students' access and success to facilitate recruitment and enrollment goals. Our campus works collaboratively to identify key strategies that foster long term enrollment and fiscal sustainability.
