Officials expect stable enrollment for fall 2009

Huntington University officials expect enrollment to be stable for the fall semester despite a turbulent economy. The Christian liberal arts college registered 203 incoming freshman for class on Saturday, the second highest number on record and 4.4 percent higher than the average number of students registered by this time in the previous five years. An additional 45 freshmen have paid a deposit for the fall semester, but have not yet registered for classes. “We may have a higher number of new students who register later than last year,” said Sarah Harvey, registrar. She noted that many graduate, adult and transfer students have not yet registered, given the different schedules of those academic programs. Details >>
