Official, third week
enrollment numbers for spring 2003 revealed continuing growth at
Carroll Community College.
Total credit headcount increased 5.5 percent from
spring 2002 to reach 2,545. Both full-time and part-time enrollments
were up from a year ago. The average student load increased to 8.71
billable hours, up from 8.48 in spring 2002.
Full-time-equivalent (FTE) enrollment, used by the
state for determining part of the college's funding, increased 8.6
percent. FTEs are based on the total student hours generated by
student course enrollments. While headcount indicates the number
of different individuals taking classes in a given time period,
full-time-equivalents provide a better picture of total enrollment
activity.
