Report on Enrollment, 1990-1993

Based on data from the Management information System of the California Community Colleges' (CCC's) Chancellor's Office, this report describes student enrollment and characteristics at College of the Canyons (COC) for fall 1990-93. The report provides seven tables covering fall enrollment and fall enrollment by course load; ethnicity; gender; age; status (i.e., first-time, transfer, returning, continuing, etc.); and educational level. For each table, data for the college, a mean for a comparative group (CG) of six state community colleges, and statewide data for the CCC are provided. Highlights of the report include the following: (1) while statewide community college enrollment declined by nearly 9%, enrollment at COC declined by less than 1% in the same period; (2) whereas CCC full-time enrollments declined by about 4%, COC full-time enrollments increased by 6% and CG enrollments declined by 28%; (3) the number of non-White students at COC increased by 32%, compared to an increase of 7% in the CCC and 16% in the CG; (4) statewide enrollment decreased proportionately by gender (8% decrease for females and 9% decrease for males), but female enrollment at COC increased by 2%; (5) there was a 7% increase in traditionally-aged (18-24) students at COC although state enrollment remained constant; and (6) COC first time college student enrollments decreased by 25%, in contrast to a 1% increase statewide.
