Download or read book Illinois Community College Board Fiscal Year 2006 Spring Enrollment Report written by Illinois Community Coll. Board, Springfield and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each Spring, community colleges report opening spring term enrollment figures to the Illinois Community College Board through a brief web-based survey. These figures reflect only those students enrolled in credit courses that were operational on the census date (last day of course registration for regular classes). Enrollment for classes beginning after the census date are reflected in the annual enrollment counts. This report summarizes the survey results. This report contains information on student enrollments as of the end of registration (usually the 10th day of the term) for the Spring semester. Statewide results of the fiscal year 2006 Spring opening enrollment survey show that compared with the same term one year ago both headcount enrollments and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments decreased slightly. Statewide the spring semester headcount was 352,020 compared to 357,602 last year (a decrease of -5,582 or -1.6 percent). The FTE count was 191,820 compared with 196,054 a year ago (a decrease of -4,234 or -2.2 percent). Overall, statewide fewer students were taking fewer credits. Table 1 contains statewide comparative Spring tenth-day enrollments for 2002 to 2006. Table 2 provides a comparison of fiscal year 2002 through fiscal year 2006 Spring headcount enrollments for each community college. Looking at headcount enrollment changes over the last year among the 48 community colleges shows that 15 colleges experienced increases (1.0 percent or higher) in headcount, while 25 exhibited decreases (1.0 percent or higher) during the past year. Eight colleges reported little or no change (less than 1.0 percent) in headcount enrollments compared to last year. Table 3 contains comparative information on Spring FTE enrollments for the five-year period between 2002 and 2006. Compared to last year, Spring FTE increases were reported by 18 colleges, decreases by 20, and 10 colleges indicated little or no change. Figure 1 illustrates by graph a comparison of opening Spring headcount and FTE trends from 2002 to 2006. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.) [For the 2005 edition of this report, see ED496791.].

This book was released on 2007 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colleges in the Illinois Community College System submit detailed credit student records twice during each fiscal year. This year's report is based on fiscal year 2006 enrollments and completions. Comparative information is supplied from four previous fiscal years (2002-2005). Detailed tables comparing fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2006 credit headcount, full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments, and graduates by college are included. FTE enrollments in this report are based on all credit hours attempted (including nonreimbursable credit hours). Illinois Community Colleges deliver education and training to a substantial number of individuals every year. During fiscal year 2006, a total of 934,902 students enrolled in credit and noncredit courses at an Illinois community college. To put this enrollment figure in perspective, that means that about 1 out of every 10 Illinoisans (18 years of age or older) took a credit or noncredit course at an Illinois community college during fiscal year 2006. A total of 49,628 collegiate-level degrees and certificates were earned by Illinois community college students in fiscal year 2006. The information in this report will provide needed background as colleagues across the system collaborate to develop strategies that address recommendations and priorities from the Joint Task Force on Community Colleges. Appendixes present: (1) Credit Enrollment Data Tables; (2) Noncredit Course Enrollment Data Tables; and (3) Completion Data Tables. (Contains 10 figures and 46 tables.)

Boggs, president and CEO, American Association of Community Colleges "I have been a community college president for over forty-one years and a graduate professor for three decades. This book has been an inspiration to generations of students, faculty members, and administrators. It has become the classic of the field because it has great 'take-home' value to us all." --Joseph N.

Board, Springfield and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and demographic changes are dramatically increasing the need for adult education, basic literacy, and English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) programs. Millions of Illinois residents lack the level of literacy skills needed to obtain good jobs, perform well on the job, and function well in an increasingly complex society. Addressing the scope and diversity of need for adult education and literacy skills takes community colleges, public schools, community based organizations, and others working together to provide the education and services needed by a wide variety of adult learners. The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) is committed to strengthening these partnerships and working to expand Adult Education and Family Literacy services that will enable individuals to increase basic skills and become more productive citizens. This report summarizes programs and activities during the fiscal year July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. It notes that there is a critical need for adult education in Illinois, observing that nearly 1.8 million of Illinois' 9.8 million adults have less than 12 grades of formal education. Statistics on workforce preparation and English as a Second Language (ESL) activities are presented; e.g., ESL learners constitute the majority of Adult Education instruction. Successes in adult education are listed; e.g., (1) Illinois Adult Education and Family Literacy exceeded its Workforce Investment Act performance targets at 119 percent of the goal in fiscal year 2006; and (2) More than 3,500 students in Illinois are enrolled in GED Illinois Online, a national recognized world-class web-based GED curriculum developed to expand the availability of Adult Education programming in Illinois. Provider diversity, funds by source of adult education and family literacy, program approval criteria, and federal and state funding in FY 2006 are itemized. Future initiatives are discussed.

Download or read book Illinois Community College Board Fall 2006 Opening Enrollment Survey Results written by Illinois Community Coll. Board, Springfield and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fall opening enrollment information for credit-generating students are recorded by the colleges at the end of the regular fall registration period, which is usually the 10th day of class. Opening fall enrollment data are gathered from postsecondary institutions nationwide. Historically, these counts provide a "snapshot" of opening fall term enrollment for year-to-year and institution-to-institution comparisons. The diversity of the community college system and its students is not fully captured in these opening enrollment data. Colleges actively seek out opportunities to serve students that may not fit into the traditional reporting framework. Modules within terms/late-start classes and internet based course delivery are some examples of college outreach efforts. Providing increasingly flexible scheduling from one year to the next is necessary to accommodate student schedules and compete successfully in the marketplace. Hence, enrollment trends are more fully captured through the use of annual data. This document presents enrollment data in five tables for Illinois community colleges. Table 1 provides systemwide comparative fall census enrollment counts from 2002 to 2006. Table 2 provides comparative information by college of fall 2002 through 2006 headcount enrollments. Table 3 provides a college level comparative data on FTE enrollments for the most recent five-year period. Table 4 provides a comparison of 2005 and 2006 fall headcount enrollment for each community college, broken out by correctional and noncorrectional student enrollment. Table 5 shows a comparison of FTE enrollment, for both correctional and non-correctional students, for fall 2005 and fall 2006 by community college.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colleges in the Illinois Community College System submit detailed credit student records twice during each fiscal year. This year's report is based on fiscal year 2005 enrollments and completions. Comparative information is supplied from four previous fiscal years (2001-2004). Detailed tables comparing fiscal year 2004 and fiscal year 2005 credit headcount, full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments, and graduates by college are included. FTE enrollments in this report are based on all credit hours attempted (including nonreimbursable credit hours). For students enrolled in credit coursework, more than half are female (55.6 percent), more than one-third are minorities (35.5 percent), and roughly two out of every five students are 31 years of age or older (38.1 percent). Available information on students enrolled in noncredit courses show nearly identical gender representation (57.2 percent female), less minority participation with nearly one-quarter minority noncredit enrollments, and the participation by a more mature population in noncredit courses with just over two-thirds of the students 31 years of age or above. In the past year, based on fiscal year 2005 annual data, there was virtually no change in credit enrollment in the community college system. In fiscal year 2005, slightly over one-fifth (20.7 percent) of Illinois Community College students (not enrolled in ABE/ASE/ESL, Vocational Skills and General Studies) were enrolled in at least one developmental course--down slightly from 21.3 percent in fiscal year 2004. Steps to assist underrepresented students in their efforts to arrive college ready and enroll full-time would benefit all students. Systemwide over the past three years, community colleges have been undertaking projects to develop, implement, or expand local computerized automated degree and certificate audit systems. These initiatives will continue through fiscal year 2006. The large number of students served through credit and/or noncredit courses affirms that the Illinois Community College System continues to adapt to the evolving educational needs of the communities the colleges serve. Appendixes present: (1) Credit Enrollment Data Tables; (2) Noncredit Course Enrollment Data Tables; and (3) Completion Data Tables. (Contains 46 tables and 8 figures.)
