In the past decade, enrollment goals in the UA system have fluctuated as chancellors,
presidents and boards have worked to envision the role of the university in this great
state of Alaska. Under former UA President Jim Johnson, the UA goal was to have ~44,000
students, more than twice what we have now across the system. Under current UA President
Pat Pitney, proposed enrollment growth is more modest, but the goal is to grow. As
we build back, and see positive enrollment numbers for the first time in several years,
there is an opportunity to think and act intentionally about our enrollment goals.
The end of the spring semester is fast approaching and it's now time to start preparing
for the 2023 summer and fall semesters. As we prepare, we ask faculty to submit their
adoptions for the summer semester by April 1, and the fall semester by April 15. This
includes informing if textbooks or other course materials will NOT be required.
