ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates how administration in a higher-education institution can use a planning model to calculate tuition and fees revenue in relation to budgetary requirements and financial expenditures. By using a planning model, an institution can project future revenue generated from tuition and fees combined with other sources of revenue. After the projected revenue information is collected, the information is input into the planning model, which will be used with financial expenditure data that is used with the planning model. This allows administrators to gain an accurate assessment on the fiscal impact on tuition and fees for the upcoming year as well as the enrollment that is required to generate the threshold needed for tuition and fees for the institution to be on a sound financial footing. Flagship public higher-education institutions have different concerns than non-flagship public institutions.
