Another enrollment record has been shattered.
Spring enrollment has reached 6,645 as of Jan. 12, including 955 dual credit students. This is a 20 percent increase from Spring 2009’s enrollment of 5,552 at the end of regular registration.
“KC is a product people want to take advantage of, especially our dual credit programs,” said Trey Hattaway, director of marketing and student outreach. “Economically, we’re in a down spot and people are looking to refine their skills.”
Students may change their schedules from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Jan. 19-20, in the Counseling Center or Dean’s Offices.
“Students need to handle their schedule changes within the first two days so that they aren’t behind in their new class,” said Pam Gatton, coordinator of counseling and testing.
According to Gatton, there is no charge for changing classes, but if a student’s classes were dropped due to non-payment, a reinstatement fee will be charged.
A $50 late fee will be charged beginning Jan. 26.
“Students need to be patient,” Gatton said. “There are a lot of classes that are full, and students might not be able to get into the classes they want.”
Students who drop classes or withdrawal from school by Jan. 19 will receive a 70 percent refund.
// SPECIAL TO THE FLARE Radiology major Jaqi Bryson, Longview freshman, waits in long lines to register at the Devall Student Center on Tuesday, Jan. 12. Enrollment records were smashed again, as 6,645 had registered for classes as of Thursday, a 20 percent increase from Spring 2009.
We have alot of students this semister lol
I wonder how many more semesters enrollment can increase…
This story really opened up my eyes to how many more people are attending Kilgore College! It was very interesting to read about!!
I believe that even though the numbers for enrollment have skyrocketed, there should be plenty of room for students here on campus. There are plenty of classes for new students, but things will pretty much have to be decided by a first come first serve basis.
That’s awesome!
Thats a lot of ppl! I can understand, I love my KC
We have a lot of student to be a junior college.
