What are the factors driving the desired completion date?
Are there campus activities, legal requirements, dependent efforts or goals that are driving a date?
The 2021 admissions freeze schedules have departed from previous years in part to accommodate the requirement that freezes do not occur on holidays or weekends, and in order to have more consistent point-in-time comparisons throughout the cycle. As such, in order to continue 3-year comparisons, the freeze data for the past two cycles must be updated for forward comparisons with the 2021 cycle and future cycles.
Provide the executive leader(s) who will champion this initiative?
These individuals support the success of this effort, such as removing obstacles, sending strategic communication and promoting necessary policy changes.
