ITE YTD = App-Applicant Response = "Enrolled" OR "Intends to Enroll," counted through each cycle's June 12. ITE YoY = change vs. prior cycle at the same June 12 point. Final FTF ITE Count = full-cycle count of First-Time Freshman (FTF) applicants with App-Applicant Response = "Enrolled" OR "Intends to Enroll" for that year (all terms, full extract — no date cutoff). Census NEW FTF Count = official first-time-freshman enrollment at fall census. Final FTF ITE Conversion Rate = Census NEW FTF ÷ Final FTF ITE Count.

Final FTF ITE Conversion Rate — 4-yr avg 71.8% 82.7% → 66.6% → 70.5% → 67.4% (range 66.6%–82.7%)

★ At this checkpoint, Fall 2026 leads every prior cycle — +548 ITE over 2025 and +510 over the best prior year — on roughly 6,500 fewer applications.

Method: Fall 2022–2025 bounded by App-Date Applied (funnel) and App-Applicant Response Date (ITE) on or before June 12 of each cycle. Fall 2026 reflects the June 15 live extract. Census NEW FTF Count, Final FTF ITE Count, and Final FTF ITE Conversion Rate for Fall 2026 are pending cycle completion.

Basis: FTF, Transfer, and Readmit use official census counts from the ECSU Factbook "Enrollment Detail by Fall by Student Type" (FTF Fall 2025 from the Enrollment Profile / IERP) divided by full-cycle ITE — FTF is a 4-yr avg (2022–2025); Transfer and Readmit are 3-yr avg (2022–2024, the latest years published by entry type). "Readmit" maps to the Factbook "Returning" category. MVA (military/veteran-affiliated = Military Dependent or Veteran) is not an official entry type, so it uses the funnel realized yield (Enrolled ÷ ITE, 4-yr avg 2022–2025 = 89.8%). Targets per the Fall 2026 New Student Demand plan. Sources: ECSU Factbooks 2022-23 / 2023-24 / 2024-25, Enrollment Profile (IERP), app_funnel_7_20_26.

Who Has Committed: ITE Pipeline Breakdown

1,153 Total · 814 Enrolled · 339 Intent · July 20, 2026 · 8:00 AM CT

Of 1,153 committed students, 814 have Enrolled (App-Applicant Response = "Enrolled"; have a class schedule) and 339 have expressed Intent to Enroll (App-Applicant Response = "Intends to Enroll"). Transfer students carry the highest melt risk at 41.9% intent-only. High School dual enrollees are the most enrollment-confirmed pipeline at 95.2%.

ITE (Enrolled + Intent to Enroll) — Breakdown by Student Type

Enrolled (has class schedule) Intent to Enroll Gap to F26 Target

Melt Target = ITE needed to land the census goal at each segment's historical yield (from ITE-to-Census Yield Planning: FTF 627, Transfer 282, Readmit 123). “vs melt” = current ITE − Melt Target — the real gap once melt is factored in. HS/Certificate/Special have no census yield rate, so gap stays vs. their planning target.

1,093 of 1,221 total bed spaces reserved across 5 residence halls — an overall occupancy of 89.5%. All current assignments carry an Entry Status of "Reserved." New Residence Hall (98.0%), Viking Tower (90.0%), and Viking Village (89.0%) are effectively full, while Bias Hall (64.4% of 104) holds the only meaningful open capacity for late housing selection.

Continuing Upper Year Residents (453) make up the majority of current assignments. New Residence Hall serves as the designated First-Time Freshman building — 280 of the 368 assigned New FTF reside there. With only 128 bed spaces still open campus-wide (1,221 capacity − 1,093 reserved), capacity is tightening sharply: New Residence Hall has just 7 beds left and Bias Hall (37 open) now holds the largest remaining runway. Class breakdown reflects 1,093 total assignments — all 1,093 matched to the housing roster.

The Foundation: Five-Year Enrollment Trend

Fall 2021 – 2025 · Official Census

ECSU has grown its fall enrollment for five consecutive years — from 2,054 to 2,360 (+14.9%). Growth is driven by two engines: continuing student retention and new student intake. Each circle below shows the institutional retention rate — the share of the prior fall's students who returned as continuing students.

The 600-student sprint goal has been exceeded with 1,153 ITE (+553 over goal). With the June 5 deadline reached, the 3,016 admitted students with no response represent the immediate outreach target and the foundation for post-sprint enrollment (a further 532 declined or cancelled and are excluded).

Financial Aid Packaging Status

Fall ITE · Data as of June 26, 2026

Financial aid packaging is a critical yield lever — students who receive an award package are significantly more likely to enroll. This analysis covers 760 Fall ITE students tracked for packaging status as of June 26, 2026. The full Fall ITE population is the primary sprint focus. Note: High School dual enrollment and Certificate students do not use standard FAFSA-based aid packaging.

Source: FA26_ITE_FASFA_Packaging_06_26_26.xlsx · Data as of June 26, 2026. "FAFSA on File" reflects ISIR received per the Financial Aid packaging file (may differ slightly from the admissions funnel FAFSA flag). "Packaged" = financial aid award issued in Banner. High School dual enrollment and Certificate students use alternate aid processes; their zero packaging rate is expected and does not reflect a gap. Key alert: 64 Fall ITE students have a FAFSA on file but no aid package — these are the highest-priority cases for the Financial Aid office.

FAFSA Filed — Not Yet Packaged (Highest Priority)

These Fall ITE students have a FAFSA on file but have not received an aid award. The Financial Aid office can package these immediately. Every day of delay increases melt risk. Pull the list and push awards before June 5.

No FAFSA & No Package — FAFSA Completion Campaign

These students have no FAFSA on file and no aid award. A targeted text/email campaign is needed immediately with a direct link to fafsa.gov, a deadline reminder, and a personal counselor contact. Many are intent-only and at high melt risk.

Transfer Students Not Packaged

Transfer students have the second-largest packaging gap (63.6% rate vs 86.3% for Freshmen). Of 198 Transfer Fall ITE, 150 have FAFSA on file but only 126 are packaged — 24 have FAFSA but no award. Transfer students also carry the highest melt risk in the ITE pool.

37.0%

Readmit Packaging Rate — Most Critical Gap

Only 17 of 46 Readmit Fall ITE students are packaged (37.0%). These returning students may have complex aid situations, prior balances, or holds. Each case likely requires a personal outreach call, not just a text. Financial Aid should assign dedicated counselors for this cohort.
