The decision to stop releasing individual campus enrollment numbers stems from students enrolling across multiple campuses, prompting the system to focus on total enrollment figures for reporting.
Six of the system's 13 branch campuses have either closed or announced plans to close by 2025 due to steep enrollment declines, illustrating significant challenges facing smaller institutions.
The Wisconsin State Legislature has initiated a committee to investigate the underlying causes of declining enrollment across the Universities of Wisconsin, with recommendations expected by the year's end.
Amid financial pressures leading to campus closures, UW leaders are emphasizing consolidated enrollment metrics and system-wide branding to adapt to shifting student behaviors.
