Strategic Enrolment Management (SEM) Plan
Access to Excellence: Managing Enrolment at the University of the Fraser Valley
2023-2030 SEM Plan
As UFV looks to the future, the population in the Fraser Valley will continue to grow and will form the base of our enrolment. UFV anticipates that based on population growth, domestic enrolments will need to increase by 20% over the next 10 years with international enrolments capped at around 25% of UFV’s overall student population. In order to manage this increase, UFV has created a Strategic Enrolment Management (SEM) Framework to guide our planning.
SEM is an intentional practice that addresses an institution’s overarching strategic priorities in terms of student enrolment, retention, and graduation. Specific goals are defined and pursued through collaborative planning and action, fostering alignment of curriculum, delivery, processes and services with institutional priorities and values. Based on the UFV Mission, Vision, and Values, a SEM strategy was developed to guide the planning process:
UFV seeks to engage learners, transform lives, and build communities by positioning the institution to meet the growing educational needs and demands within the Fraser Valley; balanced with opportunities to welcome international students from around the world.
