Illinois Community College Board Fiscal Year 2012 Spring Enrollment Report
Illinois Community College Board
Community colleges report opening Spring term enrollment figures to the Illinois Community College Board using a brief web based survey. Overall, short term statewide results of the fiscal year 2012 Spring enrollment survey show decreases from last year. Compared to the same term one year ago, statewide Spring 2012 headcount enrollments and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments both decreased. FTE figures reflect the total number of credit hours being taken by students divided by 15 -- the number of semester hours traditionally considered a full-time class load. The Spring 2012 semester headcount was 370,816 compared to 381,582 last year (a headcount decrease of 10,766 or -2.8 percent). The latest FTE count was 209,966 compared with 219,752 a year ago (an FTE decrease of 9,786 or -4.5 percent). Table 1 contains comparative statewide Spring tenth-day enrollments for the last five years. Figure 1 illustrates a comparison of headcount and FTE trends from 2008-2012. Table 2 provides a comparison of fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2012 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 2009 through fiscal year 2012 Spring opening enrollments in internet based courses at each community college. [For the 2011 report, see ED593715.]
