Illinois Community College Board Fiscal Year 2009 Spring Enrollment Report
Illinois Community College Board
Community colleges report opening Spring term opening enrollment figures to the Illinois Community College Board using a brief web based survey. This report contains information on student enrollments as of the end of registration -- usually the 10th day of the term -- for the Spring 2009 semester. Overall, statewide results of the fiscal year 2009 Spring enrollment survey show both short term and longer term increases. Statewide Spring 2009 headcount enrollments increased and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments increased compared to the same term one year ago. The Spring 2009 semester headcount was 362,537 compared to 351,777 last year (a headcount increase of 10,760 or 3.1 percent). The latest FTE count was 202,804 compared with 194,594 a year ago (an FTE increase of 8,210 or 4.2 percent). Therefore, compared to last spring there are more individuals enrolling at community colleges across the state and overall those students are taking heavier class loads. Table 1 contains comparative statewide Spring 2009 tenth-day enrollments for the last five years. Figure 1 illustrates a comparison of headcount and FTE trends from 2005-2009. Table 2 provides a comparison of fiscal year 2005 through fiscal year 2009 Spring headcount enrollments for each community college. Table 3 contains a comparison of FTE enrollments for the same five-year period. Table 4 provides fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009 Spring opening enrollments in internet based courses at each community college. [For the 2008 report, see ED593706.]
