More Fall 2009 LCC Statistics

I wrote a couple weeks ago about the current LCC enrollment surge.

How is the increase enduring? Enrollment during the first week of a term is always slightly fictitious because a few students, to appease a financial aid requirement, enroll in classes they intend to promptly drop.

At the start of the second week of classes, looking only at credit classes, enrollment is up 20%, with 10% more classes being offered, and with 17% more students than Fall 2008.

Financial aid us up a huge 47%. As of last Friday, $16,951,872 in student aid assistance had been disbursed to 5,484 students.
