Enrollment
Management is a holistic process to ensure our students’
academic success and life-long learning. At UMKC, we define
enrollment management as “an integrated systems
approach that focuses on student enrollment from the time
of their inquiry through graduation and post-graduation.
An effective enrollment management system alters and improves
the institution’s frame of reference about itself
and its prospective students, community members and business
partners” (Hossler, 1986).
This
means, essentially, that a student’s success can
not be facilitated by just one aspect of the University—but
all departments, units, offices, and services working
cohesively and collaboratively to provide the student
with the needed tools to stimulate life-long learning.
"In
a millennium in which knowledge has become the new economic
capital, universities—the traditional providers
of knowledge—face both extraordinary challenges
to which they must adapt, and extraordinary opportunities
they must seize."

Rhodes, Creation of the Future (2001)
