Illinois Community College Board Fiscal Year 2011 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 2011 Spring enrollment survey show decreases from last year's record levels. Compared to the same term one year ago, statewide Spring 2011 headcount enrollments decreased and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments 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 2011 semester headcount was 381,582 compared to 389,432 last year (a headcount decrease of 7,850 or 2.0 percent). The latest FTE count was 219,752 compared with 224,076 a year ago (an FTE decrease of 4,324 or 1.9 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 2007-2011. Table 2 provides a comparison of fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2011 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 2011 Spring opening enrollments in internet based courses at each community college. [For the 2010 report, see ED593713.]
