The Penn State Enrollment Reporting System (ERS) has been designed for the intended use of the University's enrollment management community of users. This system has been designed and operated by the Office of the University Registrar. All information provided through the ERS is specifically intended for internal University management. Once each semester the University's census enrollment is made available for external enrollment reporting.
The ERS is a three-dimension enrollment reporting model:
- Years (goal will be five years total)
- Semesters (fall, spring, and summer)
- Weeks (numerous weeks each semester)
Enrollment Managers have an array of alternatives to access and use enrollment information. The following summary provides the advantages/disadvantages of each of the alternatives:
