March 25, 2024 – Spring enrollment at Illinois Community Colleges increased for the second straight year system-wide. Opening Spring 2024 enrollment increased by 5.1 percent from the previous spring according to the Illinois Community College Board’s (ICCB) Spring 2024 Enrollment Report.
“The efforts of the Illinois Community College System to aggressively recruit and retain students, and to expand access to new ways of learning continues to pay off. The growth we are seeing consistently over these past two years, in the post-pandemic era, is a testament to the transformative power of the many accessible learning opportunities available across the system,” said ICCB Executive Director Brian Durham.
The 2024 Spring Enrollment Report shows the second Spring-to-Spring semester increase in the last five years. It’s also the third largest enrollment increase in nearly 15 years (7.8 percent increase between Spring 2009-2010, 7.2 percent between Spring 2022-2023).
