Continuing the trend of enrollment growth seen in the Spring 2023 and Summer 2023 semesters, Danville Community College Fall 2023 enrollment numbers are up 8.47% over Fall 2022, as of September 18.
“We are proud to report the continued growth in enrollment compared to the previous year's fall semester,” said Dr. Jerry Wallace. “The DCC community is ecstatic to see our growth trending in the right direction over consecutive semesters. We expect to see additional students added to this number as we move into our Second 8-week Session in mid-October.”
The Fall 2023 Semester marks the third consecutive term where DCC has seen enrollment growth. The increase in enrollment is attributed to a variety of factors, including the college's focus on providing high-quality education and support services, as well as the expansion of online course offerings. In addition, DCC has developed new programs in response to the changing needs of the workforce and has focused on providing support services to ensure that students have the resources they need to succeed, such as academic advising, tutoring, financial aid assistance, and wrap-around services.
Dr. Cornelius Johnson, Vice President of Academic Affairs & Student Services also spoke about the enrollment growth trend, saying: "We are proud to see the efforts of our dedicated faculty and staff bearing fruit. We will continue to commit to our students by employing strategies through our enrollment management plan for the growth and success of our institution. It’s an exciting time to be at DCC.”
The growth of the Early College Program, in partnership with Danville Public Schools, has also made an impact on enrollment at the college.
“We nearly tripled the size of our Early College Program this year,” said Dr. Johnson. “As we continue to build and expand these programs and partnerships, we expect to see a continued increase in our enrollment numbers going forward.”
DCC is currently enrolling students for its Second 8-week Session, which begins on October 16. Spring enrollment will begin on November 1.
