Fall Enrollments are UP

We are past the first, hectic week of the fall semester and, hopefully, everyone had a good start. We have faced some new challenges, but all is going well....

Distance Education is growing at a rapid rate! This semester we have 13,047 enrollments in DE courses. That is a 35% increase over Fall 2009. Kudos and thank you to all the excellent faculty and staff contributing to this incredible accomplishment.

The instructional designers will continue to offer support on evenings and weekends so we can carry the momentum of this success throughout the semester and into Spring.
