Charting UL Enrollment since 1901

[DaddyCajun]

i have a couple of transfer students in my classes.
BIG PROP to UL. UL is giving the transfer students their books for free, at least the students i talked to got their books for free.
i felt like a proud papa watch my son do something great!

This is just another sign of "TRUE AMERICANS" in action!! We are a loving community, state and nation and this traggedy will just make us stronger. He who stuggles together becomes true brothers for life!

It is great to see finally so many of our armed forces getting into NEW ORLEANS!! They will adapt and overcome, as is the moto of the armed forces!!!

I heard 750, but the number will possible go over 1000 by mid-semester...I hear we will be hosting some New Orleans-based teachers to teach summer-style short classes during the second half of the semester.

BATON ROUGE "" University officials say they are not surprised by the almost 7 percent drop in enrollment this fall for several reasons, not the least of which is that thousands of students were evacuated when hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the state last year. But even without the storms, some decrease was expected, said Sally Clausen, president of the University of Louisiana System. "We're all toughening up on standards," Clausen said of stricter entry requirements being enforced at all institutions. The rest of the story By Mike Hasten mhasten@gannett.com

"Savoie said the Board of Regents will continue to analyze enrollment data "to design effective strategies to rebuild our enrollment base. Increasing the number of people in our state with a college credential is crucial to Louisiana's long-term recovery."

The best way to build your enrollment base is to create a smarter Freshman. If you have more incoming Freshmen who don't need the "stop-over" in the community colleges, then that will help in increasing enrollment. Creating such a wave of smarter college freshmen has to be started at the High School Freshman level.

How we can put more money into our educational system, that is a good question. I think that it would be more than just raising or redirecting tax dollars. I think a good start would be to rid the state of the corruption and the "ol-boy system". But a victory in that war would be unlikely.

Whatever the problems are in the state, they are most likely LSU's fault, for sure. HAHA

Southeastern Louisiana University’s enrollment dipped more than 2 percent while the University of Louisiana at Lafayette saw a slight increase of 33 students from 2006. The University of Louisiana System, which includes Southeastern Louisiana, ULL and six other schools, remained relatively flat, declining in enrollment by just more than 1 percent overall. With the largest enrollment in the state, the state college system fell from 80,840 students to 79,924 this fall, according to statistics released Wednesday. ULL is the system’s largest school with 16,355; Southeastern Louisiana is next with 14,757 students this fall. SLU had 15,118 students last year.

  UL's enrollment remained steady two years after the university implemented selective admissions, but students continued to flock to community college in growing numbers.

Preliminary enrollment counts show an increase of 33 students at UL compared to last fall, while South Louisiana Community College had a fall enrollment boost of 579 students, or nearly 25 percent, setting another record fall enrollment for the college.

As expected, the new admissions policies continue to boost community college enrollment as students academically unprepared for four-year colleges are encouraged to take prep courses at community colleges.

At SLCC, the demand for courses at the college meant that capacity in courses was increased where possible and more instructors were needed, but it also meant that some students couldn't enroll.
"Because of space, the need for labs and specialized classrooms and faculty shortages in some areas, we had to turn some students away," said Jan Brobst, SLCC chancellor.

In particular, the college had a hard time responding to the demand for math courses, Brobst said.

Brobst said the college encouraged students to consider evening, weekend or online courses.

"I think clearly space is a concern. We are good stewards of the public dollar and we are looking at our space utilization and really trying to do what we can," Brobst said.

Efforts to increase enrollment in the UL Graduate School have resulted in numbers for spring 2008 indicating the Graduate School has grown by nearly 11 percent from last spring. As of this week, 1,433 students were enrolled in the Graduate School. That's an increase of 133 students from this time last year. "This increase is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of the Graduate School staff and also each graduate department at the university," said Dr. C. Eddie Palmer, dean of the Graduate School. "We implemented a 'recruiters all' mission. Everyone is helping to grow the Graduate School." Additionally, UNIVERSITY of LOUISIANA President Ray Authement approved an increase in the number of assistantships offered and also increased stipends. The rest of the story
