Fall 2020 Enrollment: Challenges and Opportunities. Research Report 21-1
Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption to enrollment in higher education. The overall shut down of the nation in March of 2020 forced colleges and universities to shift their content delivery primarily online, a context which continued for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year. As the pandemic stretched on through the summer, many institutions remained mainly closed to in-person instruction and planned to begin the 2020-21 academic year in remote operations. The impact of these decisions on fall semester/quarter of 2020 enrollment was uncertain until preliminary census enrollment counts were gathered in late September/early October. This report: (1) Summarizes observations about enrollment patterns in the 2020-21 academic year both nationally and in Washington state; (2) Provides in depth analysis into the key components of enrollment challenges in fall quarter 2020 for the community and technical college (CTC) sector; and (3) Details possible opportunities for removing barriers to enroll more students and support those already in the midst of their studies.
