I. Introduction Enrolment planning and management at UBC consists of a wide range of decisions and procedures across the university. Academic plans and government funding decisions determine overall goals and strategies. Long term enrolment objectives are aligned with the University s overall strategic plan, Place and Promise and are developed to support UBC s reputation as a globally recognized research-intensive university, a strong belief in the value and importance of intercultural understanding, the University s responsibility to address the needs of qualified underserved populations, and the University s desire to align enrolment with the resources needed to provide an outstanding education to all of its students. The Provost and Deans work in conjunction with staff in Enrolment Services and Planning and Institutional Research to translate these university-wide plans into specific faculty and program enrolment targets using models and forecasts based on current trends and retention rates, along with assumptions about new intake. The UBC Vancouver Annual Enrolment Report provides information on 2012-13 enrolments in programs across the campus, comparing actual enrolment to planned targets as well as providing information on enrolment projections for the next three years (2013-14 to 2015-16). These enrolment projections form the basis for UBC Vancouver s long term budget planning. The 2012W enrolment cycle marked a significant increase in UBC s use of broader criteria in the undergraduate admission decision. For the first time, all direct-entry applicants to the Vancouver campus were required to submit a personal profile at point of application. The campus continues to attract highly qualified applicants with successful recruitment and enrolment management strategies resulting in increased students from both domestic and international markets. Key enrolment objectives for the Vancouver campus include the following: maintain our intakes of new domestic undergraduate students, grow international student enrolment, and expand the proportion of undergraduate students from other Canadian provinces. Although we do not have specific numerical targets for graduate enrolment, it is expected that graduate enrolment will remain constant. Aboriginal student enrolment is a particular focus for the Vancouver campus. The overall aim is to increase aboriginal enrolment and graduation rates through a combination of new student recruitment and increased retention. We are also engaging in further partnerships with Aboriginal communities to identify and remove barriers to admission and identify ways that we can support Aboriginal students toward degree completion once enrolled at UBC. Prepared by Planning and Institutional Research (PAIR) Page 3

II. Enrolment Summary, 2012/13 A. Total Enrolment Total enrolment at both campuses (domestic and international) for 2012/13 is now at 57,554 students, an increase of 2% over last year. Enrolment at the Vancouver campus is at 49,241 students, an increase of 2% primarily at the undergraduate level. Enrolment trends by campus, status and program for the past six years can be found in the Appendix section of this report (Table 8, Page 13). B. Actual Enrolment against Funded Targets The Government of BC provides funding up to targeted levels for all graduate students, both domestic and international, and for all domestic undergraduate students up to targeted levels. For enrolment planning purposes, this funded and actual enrolment is expressed as "Full-Time Equivalents" (FTEs) and is referred to as the Ministry s target. International undergraduate students who pay full-cost tuition are not included in the target. At the Vancouver campus, total enrolment is expected to be above government funded levels by 9% or approximately 3,100 FTEs, primarily due to graduate enrolment. Prepared by Planning and Institutional Research (PAIR) Page 4

Government provided additional undergraduate FTE increases at the Vancouver campus specifically for medical and pharmacy expansion. We expect that for 2012/13, undergraduate FTE enrolment at the Vancouver campus will be approximately 1,200 FTEs above government funded targets. We estimate that this over-enrolment against targets will decrease slightly over the next three years. Over the past few years, we have experienced intentional growth in graduate enrolment at the Vancouver campus. This growth was consistent with our strategic plan to continue to build strength as a major global research university, and reflects growing demand in some areas as well as some funded growth between 2007/08 and 2010/11. Graduate enrolment at the Vancouver campus will exceed government funded targets by approximately 1,900 FTEs. Even though UBC has significant unfunded graduate enrolment at the Vancouver campus, the university recognizes the importance of graduate education as an essential component of our research strength and the critical contribution of those with graduate degrees to a knowledge-based economy. As such, we have no plans to decrease graduate enrolment. We do see a need to strategically assess graduate enrolment in the longer term, however, considering factors that include our capacity, program and student quality, and workforce uptake. Prepared by Planning and Institutional Research (PAIR) Page 5

C. International Enrolment International enrolment continues to show strong growth at the Vancouver campus. UBC embraces the internationalization of our campus and student body by not only recruiting international students to UBC but also promoting learning opportunities for our students in other countries. Diversity within the student body and learning opportunities abroad will promote intercultural understanding, international engagement and enable our students to collaborate and communicate across communities and continents. International students at Vancouver, registered in 2012, are drawn from 154 countries. Some students undertake degree programs at UBC at either the graduate or undergraduate level while others undertake studies on exchange or as visiting students. Some students pay full cost fees (International Student Initiative, or ISI) while others may be refugees. In addition, UBC operates the International Undergraduate Scholars Program in order to attract exceptionally gifted undergraduate students who demonstrate leadership potential from severely impoverished or war-torn countries in order to enable them to achieve a post-secondary education. In 2012W, there are 8,440 international students registered at Vancouver representing 17% of the total student enrolment (Table 1). International student enrolment in graduate programs has increased by 5% over last year while international enrolment in undergraduate direct entry degree programs has increased by 14%.

In 2006, students from the United States represented 20% of the international student body at Vancouver, followed by East Asia at 19% and China at 18%. For the current 2012 session, students from China now represent 24% of the international student body followed by students from the United States at 16%.

International Student Initiative (ISI) ISI refers to international undergraduate students who are in Canada on student or visitor visas and who pay full-cost tuition. ISI includes both degree and non-degree students. ISI recruitment efforts focus primarily on undergraduate direct entry programs. Exchange students are not counted in ISI numbers. ISI recruitment strategies for the Vancouver campus continue to be extremely successful with Vancouver showing a 13% increase in overall FTEs for 2012/13. This increase comes at a time when competition for these students continues to grow both nationally and internationally. ISI enrolment in direct entry programs at Vancouver now represents 15% of the total direct entry undergraduate enrolment (Table 3). The proportion of ISI students varies by faculty, as shown below. Prepared by Planning and Institutional Research (PAIR) Page 7

Study abroad, service learning, research abroad and international co-op and internship programs offer both undergraduate and graduate students experiential learning experiences that promote global awareness, meaningful engagement and cross-cultural understanding. UBC has approximately 150 formal exchange agreements signed with partner institutions in 40 countries across the globe. Students can also learn about global issues first-hand by working on community-based projects in Africa and Latin America. In addition, graduate students undertake research at many institutions world-wide, and some are enrolled in joint international PhD programs. Since 2006, student enrolment in study abroad programs more than doubled (Figure 4). In 2011, approximately 1,300 placements were made representing a 4% increase over 2010. The continued increase in study abroad placements reflects an intentional strategy to increase these experiential learning opportunities for our students.

III. New Undergraduate Student Enrolment A. Ethno-racial distribution of new undergraduate degree students For the past four years, we have surveyed New to UBC undergraduate direct entry and transfer students in order to measure characteristics of our incoming students, including their expectations prior to their arrival at UBC. Approximately 42% of all new incoming direct entry students responded to the survey in 2012. At the Vancouver campus, ethno-racial distributions vary between the direct entry and transfer cohorts. Approximately one-third of direct entry students at Vancouver self-identify as White and 35% selfidentify as Chinese. For the transfer cohort, 56% self-identify as White and 22% as Chinese. Table 4: New to UBC (NUBC) Student Survey -- Ethno-racial distributions Direct Entry Transfer 2009 2010 2011 2012 2009 2010 2011 2012 Aboriginal 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% Arab 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% 0% 1% 1% Black 1% 1% 1% 1% 0% 1% 1% 1% Chinese 35% 32% 33% 35% 18% 17% 20% 22% Filipino 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 3% Japanese 2% 1% 2% 2% 1% 1% 1% 0% Korean 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 3% 2% 2% Latin American 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% 2% South Asian (e.g., East Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, etc.) 6% 6% 7% 8% 5% 3% 4% 5% Southeast Asian (e.g., Vietnamese, Cambodian, Malaysian, Laotian, etc.) 3% 3% 4% 4% 3% 2% 2% 3% West Asian (e.g., Iranian, Afghan 2% 2% 2% 1% 2% 2% 1% 2% White 34% 37% 33% 31% 56% 61% 57% 56% Other 5% 6% 6% 6% 5% 4% 6% 4% Note: multiple response question B. Broad Based Admissions 2012 UBC Vancouver significantly expanded the use of broader criteria in the undergraduate admissions decision for all direct entry first year programs. For the first time, all direct-entry applicants to the Vancouver campus were required to submit a personal profile at point of application. Although grades still play a very important role in selecting the incoming class of UBC students, the use of the personal profile allows for a more holistic admissions evaluation. Applicants must answer 3-5 short answer questions in addition to providing a list of activities and accomplishments. The number and content of the questions, along with the rubric used to assess the answers, varies from faculty to faculty. However, in all cases, applicants are not only assessed for what they have done, but what they have learned from those experiences. Prepared by Planning and Institutional Research (PAIR) Page 9

In 2012, the mean admission average of a first-year student on the Vancouver campus was 89% (directentry from secondary school). This figure remains unchanged from the previous year. The increased use of broad based admissions put downward pressure on admission averages while conversely, UBC expanded the list of BC secondary school courses eligible for consideration in the admission decision which created upward pressure. However, many students were admitted on the strength of their personal profile that would not have been admitted on grades alone. While the proportion does vary by program (and is a function of the extent to which faculties emphasize the personal profile in the admission decision), overall, roughly 12% of the first-year class would not have been admissible had personal profile information not been used in the admission decision. UBC s increased use of broader criteria has been extremely well received on both a local and a national level. Secondary schools have welcomed UBC s message underscoring the importance of being an engaged learner and an active member of the community in addition to having strong academics. Below are mean admission averages for all students admitted into first year direct entry programs from secondary schools (Table 5). Table 5: UBC Vancouver -- Mean admission Averages for 1st year Direct Entry Undergraduate Programs 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Apsc-BASC 86.6 86.2 86.5 88.0 89.3 90.1 91.0 Arts-BA 86.0 86.2 85.3 86.8 88.0 87.7 87.5 Sauder-BCOM 89.3 89.4 89.6 90.2 90.5 90.9 91.7 Kinesiology-BKIN 87.4 86.4 86.3 88.0 89.4 87.8 88.2 Foresty-All Programs 79.6 80.7 81.2 82.5 82.1 82.6 83.1 LFS-All Programs 83.3 83.7 83.9 86.5 88.9 88.2 88.9 Science-BSC 91.0 90.4 90.1 91.5 92.0 92.1 92.3 Total 87.5 87.5 87.1 88.7 89.5 89.5 89.7 Note: final admission averages for students registered in first year admitted from secondary schools C. Geographic location of new undergraduate degree students The vast majority of new domestic undergraduate degree students at the Vancouver campus are from BC secondary and post-secondary institutions (76% in 2012, Table 6). In addition to domestic students living in BC and the rest of Canada, UBC also attracts domestic students who are living abroad (8%). One of UBC s goals is to increase the proportion of domestic students from other Canadian provinces and yet this remains largely unchanged over the past five years. The majority of new international undergraduate degree students are from international locations (71% in 2012). UBC also attracts international students from institutions within BC and the rest of Canada although this has declined over the past few years and is expected to continue to decline due to decreased international student enrolments at high schools within Canada. New recruitment strategies for international students will focus on international students who are living outside Canada, particularly in the following areas: India, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China. Prepared by Planning and Institutional Research (PAIR) Page 10

Student Retention Retention is defined as the percentage of first time, first year, full-time, degree-seeking students who register in the following year. Students are considered to have been retained even if they switch degree programs. At the Vancouver campus, retention rates are high for most programs, consistent with retention rates for highly selective institutions and not surprising given the strong correlation between high admission averages and retention rates. Retention rates vary by faculty, program and visa status (Table 7) but overall, retention rates remain at 90%-92% at the Vancouver campus. Another area of concern is the difference in retention between domestic and ISI students in some programs. Improved student retention, particularly for international students is a priority at the Vancouver campus. Recent enhancements to orientation, transition and student support programs have resulted in improved retention rates for international students.

IV. Enrolment Planning 2013/14 2015/16 Enrolment targets for the next three years reflect the long-term enrolment strategy developed by Deans & Associate Deans in conjunction with the Provost s Office. In the absence of additional government funding, undergraduate domestic enrolment at the Vancouver campus will gradually decrease while remaining over government funded levels by approximately 700 FTEs by 2015/16 (Table 9). New intakes for undergraduate ISI students will increase by approximately 10% per year for the next three years (Table 10) resulting in total FTE growth of 11% each year between 2013/14 and 2015/16 (new intakes plus flow-through).
