Illinois Community College Board Fall 2006 Opening Enrollment Survey Results
Illinois Community College Board
Fall opening enrollment information for credit-generating students are recorded by the colleges at the end of the regular fall registration period, which is usually the 10th day of class. Opening fall enrollment data are gathered from postsecondary institutions nationwide. Historically, these counts provide a "snapshot" of opening fall term enrollment for year-to-year and institution-to-institution comparisons. The diversity of the community college system and its students is not fully captured in these opening enrollment data. Colleges actively seek out opportunities to serve students that may not fit into the traditional reporting framework. Modules within terms/late-start classes and internet based course delivery are some examples of college outreach efforts. Providing increasingly flexible scheduling from one year to the next is necessary to accommodate student schedules and compete successfully in the marketplace. Hence, enrollment trends are more fully captured through the use of annual data. This document presents enrollment data in five tables for Illinois community colleges. Table 1 provides systemwide comparative fall census enrollment counts from 2002 to 2006. Table 2 provides comparative information by college of fall 2002 through 2006 headcount enrollments. Table 3 provides a college level comparative data on FTE enrollments for the most recent five-year period. Table 4 provides a comparison of 2005 and 2006 fall headcount enrollment for each community college, broken out by correctional and noncorrectional student enrollment. Table 5 shows a comparison of FTE enrollment, for both correctional and non-correctional students, for fall 2005 and fall 2006 by community college.
