Based on a review of the data provided in Item #5 (Enrollment and Complete Projections) of the Bookkeeping/Payroll Specialist Narrative attached, most of the classes included in the proposed Bookkeeping/Payroll Certificate of Achievement have had enrollments increase between the 16-17 and 17-18 academic years. The only course that decreased slightly, in enrollments, was Acct 8 (Payroll). The reason for that decrease may be because that particular course was not offered, during the regular fall/spring semesters for over a year. With the current and forecasted demand for bookkeepers with specialized skills in payroll preparation, this certificate should prove to be very desirable and enrollments should continue to increase. In an effort to even further increase the enrollments, and ultimately increase completions of this Certificate, it is believed that offering one section of Acct 8 (Payroll Accounting), each semester, will provide students with the opportunity to complete the Bookkeeping/Payroll Specialist Certificate of Achievement within two semesters – start to finish. Increasing completions of all certificates and degrees has become significantly more important with the new Student Success Funding Formula.
