THE IDEA(S)
“During the quiet time here on campus, I have found the joy in doing what I enjoy and did not have the chance to do during fall and spring because so many student organizations compete for space such as dance rooms.”
DanQing

AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The Idea1. Increase Access and maximize classroom space
utilization without increasing the student/faculty ratio.
2. Create a signature program based on a Spring/Summer enrollment calendar with a central academic theme where students from multiple majors collectively worked towards a minor.
3. The Innovation Academy

SEM IMPLICATIONS - ADMISSIONS
“These IA bonding sessions have helped me realize that you can make a big university small; you can’t make a small university big. IA PRIDE!”
David

AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The SEM Implications - Admissions
• Messaging – Focusing on the IA Concept rather than what it is NOT– Opportunities – entrepreneurship, creativity,
innovation, internships, integration into the university’s Innovation Square
– Never presented as “alternative” – but as an expansion or extension of the UF opportunity
– Small college experience with the benefits of a large research institution
![Page 12: Outside the Box: Applying SEM Principles to an Innovative Program](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163a9550346895dd4b9b3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The SEM Implications - Admissions
• Roll-out– Guidance counselor workshops– Newsletter created– Started recruiting season with flyer--later table
piece– Initially used Admissions website for IA until their
website was developed– http://innovationacademy.aa.ufl.edu/
admission.aspx
![Page 13: Outside the Box: Applying SEM Principles to an Innovative Program](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163a9550346895dd4b9b3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The SEM Implications - Admissions
• Populating the program– Strategy was to build a cohort of interested students
through a checkbox on the admission application– Using this strategy and a “What’s This?” link we
generated an IA prospect pool of 2347 in the first year and 3981 in the second year
– Market to the prospect pool with weekly newsletter, target email campaigns, online chat sessions and social media
– Class of 300 first year and 377 second year

AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The SEM Implications – Financial Aid
• Developed a unique Cost of Attendance based on Spring/Summer enrollment– Lower Cost of Attendance $17,926 for IA;
$20,200 for non-IA– Pay less for a degree = Borrowing less
• Negotiated with state officials so students could use Bright Futures for the alternative calendar
![Page 19: Outside the Box: Applying SEM Principles to an Innovative Program](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163a9550346895dd4b9b3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The SEM Implications – Financial Aid
• Set aside funding during packaging so as not to short-change IA students in gift aid
• Determined the impacts of using Financial Aid on a different calendar– Students using PELL and Bright Futures
during pre-fall enrollment– Exit counseling in fall
![Page 20: Outside the Box: Applying SEM Principles to an Innovative Program](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163a9550346895dd4b9b3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
AACRAO SEM 2013 - Chicago Session ID: 1899
The SEM Implications – Financial Aid
• Local Financial Aid – Can award more students overall
because of lower Cost of Attendance for IA students
• Communication strategies for pre-fall enrollment and ongoing

SEM IMPLICATIONS - REGISTRAR
“I felt (and still feel) that even in Gainesville, I was still with family. That family was, and is, my Innovation Academy cohort. Ultimately, it is the powerful bond with my cohort that made my transition to UF swift, and Gainesville my “home away from home.”
Hammaad

THE IMPLEMENTATION
“The Beaty Laundry Basket was the ultimate brainchild of a whole year's worth of creativity classes, the frustration of taking my laundry downstairs, and the teamwork of a group of individuals who put aside their differences to put together their ideas. My team became my best friends, my prototype became my go-to laundry basket, and the practicum became another A+ for my GPA.”
Michael
