Rise in fall term enrollment
forces changes in classes
By Ingrid White
Of th* Kmrrald
As fall arrives in all of its
splendor the University will
be preparing to accomodate
the largest number of students
in its history.
The University has become
such a desirable place to
study that deadlines for ad
mission applications had to
be imposed so the number of
enrolling students for fall
would not surpass 18,000.
In the spring, the Universi
ty received a flood of admis
sion applications from pro
spective students. The
deadlines for admission ap
plications were set to control
the enrollment. According to
lames Buch. University Direc
tor of Admissions. "The
deadlines were set mainly to
reduce the size of the
freshman class."
"The largest increases in
enrollment will appear within
the senior and graduate
levels, which are designed to
take in a larger number of
students than the freshman
level," Buch said.
The University reaches its
optimum level of student
capacity at 17,500. Although
the projected fall enrollment
is reaching 17,800, the system
will not collapse, Buch
added.
"Due to the spread of newly
admitted students, the system
can maintain and not crash. In
the senior and graduate levels
we have programs designed to
accomodate larger numbers of
students. Whereas, in the
freshman level it is much
more difficult to deal with,"
Buch said.
The University’s popularity
has not increased suddenly;
rather, enrollement has been
steadily on the rise for the
past five years. According to
Much, the University has
always been a good school. "
Recently it has become attrac
tive to a wider range of
students,” he added.
Buch credits the enrollment
increase to students being bet
ter prepared and to an in
crease in the retention of con
tinuing students.
The increasing enrollment
at the University has had a
beneficial impact. In 1982 and
19 8 3 enrollment was
predicted to decrease. With
the opposite occurring, the
budget was increased, enabl
ing the faculty to grow and
change in a manner that
would not have been possible
without the increase, Buch
said.
With the rise in the number
of classes per day. the useage
of classrooms and the number
of instructors also will have to
increase. Buch said.
Funding to make the ad
justments is available, and if
it is necessary to create more
classes at the time of registra
tion there is money in reserve
to do so, Buch said.
