Data are drawn from fall fourth week census reports issued to the three District community colleges each September. Data collected for fall 1996 indicated the following: (1) after a 3-year decline beginning in 1991, enrollment stabilized in fall 1994, declining by less than .02% from the previous year; (2) between fall 1995 and fall 1996, enrollment increased by 3.5%, the first annual increase since 1990; (3) although weekly student contact hours decreased each year from 1992 to 1994, they increased by 3.2% between fall 1994 and fall 1995; (4) the proportion of ethnic minorities in the District's student body increased from 28% in 1986 to 40% in 1996; (5) in fall 1996, White students comprised 56.6% of the student body, Asians 16.1%, Latinos 11.5%, African Americans 10.4%, and Native Americans 2.1%; (6) the proportion of students 20 years of age and under decreased from 34% of enrollment in 1978 to 26% in fall 1996, while students ages 30 and over increased from 30% to 39%; and (7) in fall 1996, 41.7% of students were taking fewer than 6 units, 30.7% were taking between 6 and 11.9 units, and 27.6% were taking 12 or more units.
