Admissions and Enrollment: Fall 2021

Traditional Undergraduate

We're proud to announce that the recently arrived first-year class is the most diverse in Regis history. The Class of 2025 is made up of a record number of Pell Grant recipients, first-generation college students and students of color who reflect the changing demographics of our city, state and nation. The average GPA of our newest students has gone up slightly year-over-year, from 3.64 in 2020 to 3.66 in 2021.

Our new first-year class endured unprecedented disruption to their college search due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When they should have been visiting colleges, meeting with their counselors and taking the SAT or ACT, they were instead asked to deal with remote learning and isolation from friends and extracurriculars. Despite these difficulties, they showed tremendous resilience and adaptability during the past 18 months — traits which will serve them well as Regis students.

Post-Traditional/Graduate

The post-traditional recruiting team continues to chip away at the Fall enrollment goals. Overall, post-traditional enrollments are currently 88% to goal for Fall SEM/8W1. Programs that have met or exceeded their enrollment goals include M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy, M.A. in Counseling and M.S. in Health Services Administration, as well as the CHOICE BSN, DNP and NNP nursing programs.

Low lead volume for some Anderson, SPA and Education programs continues to be a challenge. While undergraduate computing currently sits at 97% to goal, lead generation for graduate computing programs has noticeably slowed. International interest in these programs remains high, but actual enrollments have plateaued due to pandemic-related visa denials and delays.
