approved by the Board of Trustees and includes estimated
inflationary increases in the projection of all costs. NOTE: CPE is projecting enrollment goals for all institutions
based on the Commonwealth’s achieving the national

model indicates that UK should be expected to enroll more
than an additional 10,000 undergraduate students by 2020.
