2014 Enrollment

[CrazyCajun]

Put a value on something and people want it.

[CajunJack55]

Southeastern's enrollment is like 15,000 +/-

Yes this is about where they have been the past several years but I haven't seen there fall 2014 numbers yet. I don't believe they announced the numbers yet.

[CajunJack55]

The number of out-of-state students rose significantly. This semester’s 1,442 students are 20 percent more than the 1,198 who enrolled last semester.

This is one of the most encouraging aspects of the article. Out of state tuition is a great way for our university to grow. This is how the Alabama's and Auburns where able to grow in the 1990s and 2000s. We need recruiters and advertisements out thhere.

The following breakdown of fee charges is updated for Spring 2013 fee schedule as of 12.02.12:..I couldn't find anything more recent but I do not see any fees regarding getting into athletic events for free except for the "Auxiliary Operations Fee" and if that is it then I would assume Martin Hall and I would love see the breakdown of how much of that $100 goes towards athletics. Seem we are missing another opportunity to increase our budget.

I think this one is

[CajunDreDog]

I always thought or was told that it was one of the "Union" fees. That UPC was basically buying your tickets for you with that money.

Or something like that.....

It should be a fee that equal to roughly $7.50 per home sporting event for the semester.

The number 18,796 includes students enrolled in professional programs and credit-bearing continuing education

Undergrad numbers are 17,195

First time freshmen 2,922

Total enrolled numbers 18,796

Starting in the fall of 2013 UL started including the number of students enrolled in professional programs and credit-bearing continuing education for total enrollment of 18,235.

If my numbers are correct 17,195 is still the largest number of UL under grads ever, and breaks the record of 17,020 set following the front porch football success of the Jake Delhomme years

The University’s regular enrollment remains stable, with 16,646 for the Fall 2013 semester. Last year, the enrollment was 16,687, a difference of 40 students. The university also is enrolling a number of students in professional programs and credit-bearing continuing education for a Fall 2013 total enrollment of 18,235.

The total enrollment for the Fall 2014 semester, which includes a number of students in professional programs and credit-bearing continuing education courses, represents an increase of more than 3 percent over last fall, when 18,235 students enrolled. Degree-seeking enrollment numbers also are up by more than 3 percent, with 17,195 students this semester, or 549 more than the 16,646 who enrolled for the Fall 2013 semester.

We need to grow our grad programs to close to 4000 students. Possibly build some more academic building in the research park to accomidate more students.

What about students enrolled in on-line courses? If they are paying tuition, they should be counted. I'll bet that is how commuter schools like UCF get their enrollment around 50,000.

[Redgineer]

What about graduate students?
