海角社区鈥檚 enrollment has increased for the eighth consecutive semester. This Fall, enrollment increased 10.4% with the greatest jump occurring among returning students with a 33.2% increase in sophomore enrollment. Concurrent enrollment continues to grow with a 18% rise in the number of high school juniors and seniors getting a head start on their college education.
鈥淲e are excited to see continued growth in our total student population, especially among returning students and high school juniors and seniors,鈥� said 海角社区 President Jena Marr. 鈥淥ur investment in student support, both in and out of the classroom, is helping more students achieve their goals and continue their education.鈥�
The substantial increase in sophomore enrollment reflects 海角社区鈥� strong focus on student retention and success. Faculty and staff have enhanced the early alert system to proactively identify students who may need additional academic or personal support. Coupled with personalized advising and expanded student services, these interventions are helping more students remain on track and return for their second year.
The continued rise in concurrent enrollment underscores the college's strong partnerships with area high schools. As a long-standing provider of concurrent enrollment opportunities, 海角社区 continues to offer college classes tuition-free to high school juniors and seniors, with students only responsible for fees and textbooks.
海角社区 remains committed to providing flexible, affordable educational options for students. The college continues to reduce cost barriers through the use of free digital textbooks in several general education courses. In addition, 海角社区鈥� partnerships with area career technology centers offer students innovative pathways to an associate degree. Students in eligible programs can combine block credit from their technology center with general education coursework from 海角社区 to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree. Program options include Allied Health, Veterinary Assistant, Business and Accounting, Computer Systems and Applications, and Industrial Power and Transportation.
鈥淲e鈥檙e committed to meeting students where they are and helping them get where they want to go,鈥� Marr said. 鈥淲hether a student plans to transfer to a four-year university or step directly into the workforce, our programs are designed to provide clear, affordable pathways to success.鈥�
