A new era in college enrollment has emerged, as Winston-Salem State University adopts a best practices strategy for improving the enrollment process, which will have a positive impact on student academic success and retention.
The plan, affecting the fall 2009 freshman class, is multifaceted and includes a traditional admission process and an increase in the admissions criteria. The traditional admission process has set deadlines for early notification/scholarships and acceptance to the University in a timely manner.
WSSU has moved to this best practice model to ensure that the fall 2009 freshman class will have sufficient access to housing, dining, student services, and appropriate classes. This will facilitate a smooth transition into the campus community for pursuit of academic goals.

“This approach will introduce our campus community to those who will most benefit from our unique Ram experience,” said Tomikia LeGrande, assistant vice chancellor of enrollment management. “We are currently in final discussions of phase II of the enrollment plan to begin implementation in late January.”
The basis of the plan is to provide student and parent focused services. Overall the plan will require commitments from university employees, students and parents to be active participants in the academic experience. WSSU will provide additional information as it develops.
