Illinois Community College Board Fiscal Year 2016 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. These figures reflect student enrollments as of the end of registration for the Spring 2016 semester B usually the 10th day of the term. Overall, compared to the same term one year ago, statewide Spring 2016 headcount enrollments and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments both decreased. The Spring 2016 semester headcount was 318,524 compared to 330,311 last year (a headcount decrease of 11,787 or -3.6 percent). The latest FTE count was 175,859 compared with 184,239 a year ago (an FTE decrease of 8,380 or -4.5 percent). 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. During the Great Recession the Illinois Community College System experienced record-level Spring term enrollments with peak headcount enrollment in Spring 2010. Despite enrollments returning to pre-recession levels the Illinois community colleges continue to increase the number of graduates annually. With 71,787 earned collegiate-level degrees and certificates, fiscal year 2015 again set an all time high in the number of graduates from the Illinois Community College System. 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 2012-2016. Table 2 provides a comparison of fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 2016 Spring headcount enrollments for each community college. Table 3 contains a comparison of full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments for the same five-year period. Table 4 provides fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 2016 Spring opening enrollments in internet-based courses at each community college.
