CSC enrollment increases 5% during fall semester

CSC saw a 5% enrollment increase in the fall 2021 semester, ignoring the trend of decreasing national undergraduate enrollment.

A report done by the Integrated Postsecondary Education System Data System (IPEDs) on Oct. 15, 2021, showed that CSC’s total enrollment had grown to 2,250 students during the fall semester.

In the fall of 2020, CSC’s total enrollment was 2,330 students.

“We have a Vice President for Enrollment Management, Tami Selby and an Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management, Tara Hart who are making great progress in reviewing and revising our procedures and policies related to enrollment management,” President Randy Rhine said. “Their efforts combined with the addition of a new Director of Financial Aid, Anthony Morejon are making a positive difference in our recruitment, retention, and overall enrollment picture.”

CSC was not the only school in the Nebraska State College System (NSCS) that saw enrollment growth.

In total, state college enrollment grew to a total of 8,774 students, increasing by 7%. According to the NSCS, this is the largest headcount since 2016.
