[Oacrao-l] Fall enrollment?

[Eileen Kenney]

Hello all,

TCC is definitely taking a hit this fall.  We're down a good bit across the board, but especially seeing it in our new, first-time entering students.  We know not being able to have face-to-face outreach in the spring and summer has hurt. We were up substantially in new and transfer students last fall . . . nothing close to that this fall.

Currently we are:
                -10% unduplicated headcount (1,692 students)
                -8% FTE
(it kills me to even type those numbers)

Hope everyone has a smooth start to fall 2020,

Eileen Kenney

Good afternoon!

I hope everyone is doing as well as can be given this time of the year (what a strange fall we're all about to embark upon, eh?!?), and I also hope you were able to get some summer relaxation time squeezed into your schedule!

As usual, this is about the time of year when I send out this email to see if you wouldn't mind sharing how your fall enrollment is looking so far.  I understand if you don't wish to respond or are unable to respond to the group (or at all), but if you're able and willing-would you mind sharing how it's looking for your institution?  It's not looking good for us at all, honestly...we're currently down over 600+ students in headcount (-4.9%) and down over 9,000 in credit hours (-5.6%).

In terms of reasoning, we're hearing the same responses we normally do (can't afford it, family issues, personal issues, taking a break), and even though we've received some COVID-19 related reasons, it hasn't been the dominating justification we thought it would be at this point. Don't get me wrong-it's an issue, but it hasn't been the #1 overwhelming reason. Any feedback you can provided would be most helpful!

Thank you, and be well!
