One operating picture for SPSI

MU Prism unifies Salesforce, GA4, paid media, the SIS, and Oracle finance into a single data layer, and each team runs its day from its own command. Pick a command to begin. The Business Plan Command runs on real model data today; the four operating commands are illustrative prototypes pending MU Prism feeds.

SP27 sections against MVE

Every scheduled section: MVE threshold (8 for 3-4 credit courses, 4 for 2-credit), gap to MVE, percent of the 25-seat cap, and days until the session starts. Sorted by gap, most at risk first.

Definitions used in every view on this page

Cohort: new students at semester start, RDNS excluded.
RDNS (registered, did not start): registered with no coursework engagement by the census date for the course format. 16-week: third Friday. 8-week: Friday of week 2. 4-week: Friday of week 1.
Net enrolled: registered minus RDNS, locked at census and never recalculated. The denominator for every rate on this page.
Full-time: 12+ credits undergraduate, 9+ graduate, summed across sub-terms in the semester. MVE: 8 students for 3-4 credit courses, 4 for 2-credit.

SPSI’s first intake was FA25, so six-semester views show four censused semesters; SP27 and SU27 fill in as each census locks.

Cohort & headcount

Cohort size by term and program

Entering cohort (net enrolled, RDNS excluded) per semester, against the same semester a year earlier. Programs down more than 10 percent year over year are flagged in red.

RDNS / forfeited enrollment

Registered students with no coursework engagement by their format’s census date, by term, program, and course format. Click a row for the student-level roster.

Net enrolled headcount, year over year

Official census headcount: entering cohort, continuing, and total.

Figures lock at each census and are never recalculated.

Entering cohort vs continuing

Net enrolled by semester. Flag: entering cohort under 20 percent of total.

Full-time vs part-time, FA26

Net enrolled by program and level. Full-time: 12+ credits undergraduate, 9+ graduate. Programs over 50 percent part-time are flagged in red.

Retention & persistence

Term-to-term persistence

Each entering cohort tracked across later terms: students still enrolled at each census, as a rate of the cohort’s locked census count. Summer is optional, so summer rates run lower.

Fall-to-fall retention

Share of each fall cohort enrolled at the next fall census, by program.

Stop-outs: withdrawals and leaves of absence

Consolidated plan

August 2026 re-forecast. Moravian's fiscal year closes July 1, so FY26 is locked: closed years report actuals, everything to the right of the divider is forecast. Financials are fiscal year contribution; enrollment runs on academic terms. Cyber was shut down in April 2026 and is out of the plan. Certificates are not yet included.

Programs

Six active core programs plus Aviation, which the August report carries as one combined line (BS Aviation Management + BS Professional Pilot). Financials are the August re-forecast. Term-level intake forecasts and funnel levers were not re-forecast in August and are shown from the May models, labeled.

FY27 revenue contribution by program

Revenue each program contributes to FY27 and its share of the total. New programs added to the plan will appear here with their FY27 addition.

Program scorecard, FY27

Marketing and funnel May 2026 assumptions

The August report did not re-forecast CPL, lead-to-enroll, or media budgets. Everything below is from the May 2026 models and should be treated as stale until Anna's next full model drop. The AA programs run through CG Spectrum with no paid media.

Per-student LTV, FY26 goal vs actual (August report)

The one funnel-adjacent metric August did update. Blended LTV per student came in at $24,691 vs $27,652 forecast, driven by the MBA tuition redesign and the Cyber shutdown.

Break-even

From the August re-forecast. Annual break-even is the first fiscal year a program covers its own costs; payback is the first year cumulative surplus turns positive (measured from FY26).

Key variances, May 2026 vs Aug 2026

Total with Aviation. The August cut reflects FA26 under-enrollment (63 vs 92 goal), the Cyber shutdown, the MBA tuition redesign, and SP27/SU27 held at 80 percent of target.

Chassis note. The August re-forecast was built on the December 2025 straight-line chassis rather than the May cohort-matrix model, and its own term table assigns summers to the next fiscal year. This dashboard holds to the standing convention (FY27 = FA26 + SP27 + SU27), which the August headline tables also use, so figures here tie to those headline tables. Standing data rule: Moravian's FY closes July 1, so closed fiscal years must be reported as actuals only; modeled figures for a closed year are flagged, never presented as results.
