Bancroft Street Toledo, Ohio 43606 FROM: Marty Clark Office of Public Information FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (41 9) S37-267S Paced by sharp enrollment increases in the colleges of Business Administration, Education and Allied Professions, and Engineering, The University of Toledo's overall fall quarter enrollment is estimated at 21,101 students, up about 1.2 per cent from the preliminary enrollment estimate of 20,856 students made on the first day of classes in 1982. Mrs. Patsy Scott, director of institutional research at UT, noted that the Univer- sity's final official enrollment last fall, based on a count taken on the 14th calendar day of the quarter, was 21,386 students, an all-time record. "Since late registrations with permission of the instructor are being accepted until Oct. i0, and with the addition of off-campus and other uncounted registrations, it is most likely that the University will report another all-time record enrollment this fall," she said. The final count, which forms the basis for the University's enrollment report to the Ohio Board of Regents and is a major factor in determing its share of state subsidies, will be based on enrollment as of Oct. I0. In the preliminary count taken last week, based on the opening day enrollment on Sept. 26, the College of Business Administration posted an increase of 242 students tO total 4,056; the College of Education and Allied Professions was up 183 students to 2,875; and the College of Engineering was up 90 students to 2,735. Also recording increases were the College of Arts and Sciences, up 53 students to 4,986, the College of Law, up ii students to 786, and the College of Pharmacy, up 7 students to 427. (over) Showing declines in enrollment were the University Community and Technical College down 248 students to 4,215, and the University College, down 69 students to 1,015. The number of full-time students increased by 282 students to 12,653 and the number of part-time students declined only slightly, by 37 students to 8,448. The result is that students are enrolled for a greater number of credit hours this fall than last, increasing the University's so-called full-time equivalent enrollment by more than 1.7 per cent, Mrs. Scott said. Among students enrolled at the University for evening courses, there are 184 students fewer, representing a decline of nearly 3.2 per cent and a decline in full- time equivalent enrollment for evening students of nearly 2 per cent. As was the case with students attending day classes, enrollment increases for evening programs were recorded by the colleges of Business Administration, Education and Allied Professions, Engineering, and Law. The official enrollment count for the fall quarter should be available by the end of October, Mrs. Scott said. ### The University of Toledo October 4, 1983 2801 W.
