Credit hour figure up 35.5% over last summer; headcount up 16.5%; new focus, pandemic, marketing combine to explain increase
The 2020 summer enrollment at Yavapai Community College is at a record high, according to a report by President Lisa Rhine given to the District Governing Board at its May meeting. It has eclipsed the record set back in 2010.
President Rhine told the Governing Board that the credit hour figures were up 35.5% and total headcount was up 16.5% when compared to last summer. She credited the increase in part to a management reorganization put in place last fall, one that focuses more directly on increasing enrollment. The pandemic with the downturn in employment and improved marketing were also recognized as reasons for the enrollment increase.
