III.  Projections of the number of students to be admitted and enrolled in any year shall be determined by:  a) the capacity of the institution to meet the instructional and other needs of students in the colleges, schools, departments, curricula, or other programs to which applicants seek admission, and b) enrollment levels approved for budgetary or other appropriate purposes. 

IV.  Those to be offered admission will be selected on the basis of the University’s judgment of the applicant’s relative qualifications for satisfactory performance in the specific college, school, department, curriculum, or other program to which the applicant seeks admission, consideration of the applicant’s potential threat to campus community or property, and the institutional criteria listed above.
