Spring 2021 Enrollment
Don Robertson, vice president of student affairs, said the total headcount for the spring semester showed a decline in enrollment of about 2 percent compared to last year. Robertson said enrollment has increased in graduate students but has decreased in undergraduate.
“Some of that is reflective because of what’s happening in the high schools, and our Racer Academy numbers are down a bit,” Robertson said. “Part of that is the success of our students. We graduated more students this past fall than we did in the fall of ‘19, and of course, that’s what we want to do, we want the students to graduate.”
