Our Foundational Goal: Meaningful and Sustained Enrollment Growth
We will expand our reach and increase our enrollment, not merely for the sake of growth, but because we are committed to our responsibility to the people of Texas to prepare more citizens to lead our state into the future.
Through an appropriate mix of relevant programs, delivery methods and locations, we will attract an increasing number of students seeking to prepare themselves for their future.
By seeking and accepting students with a strong potential for success and providing them the resources and experiences to capitalize on their promise, the percentage of SFA students graduating also will increase.
This growth will be evidence of our productive participation in achieving the state's strategic goal for developing a more educated population.
In addition, growth provides the foundation for our on-going viability as an institution.

Our strategic enrollment plan has six steps:
- Establish an Enrollment Goal.
- Develop strategic Enrollment Objectives, with measurable targets, focused on achieving the overall enrollment goal. These should be specific and reasonable, but ambitious.
- Inventory and categorize current actions and practices focused on each identified objective.
- Develop new actions and practices as appropriate to focus on each identified objective.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of each action and practice; strengthen those that work, revise or eliminate those that don't.
- Collect and monitor relevant data; reset objectives and performance targets as appropriate.
