Whether you are here to earn a certificate or degree, to transfer to a four- year institution, or to gain skills for entering the workforce, ECC is the right choice for a bright future. Elgin Community College remains committed to its mission to improve people’s lives through learning. The college has received the designation of Leader College from Achieving the Dream, the national organization dedicated to improving student success and completion. The college was one of just 14 schools in the nation in 2012 to earn this honor for demonstrating sustained improvement and accomplishments on key student achievement indicators, thanks to the efforts of our faculty and staff. You have chosen an exciting time to attend ECC. Our faculty members are developing new academic offerings in emerging fields while strengthening our core transfer and career and technical programs, and our robust first-year experience program ensures that you are equipped with the tools you need to successfully complete your goals. If this is your first time on campus or you have not been here in a while, I am sure you have noticed the tremendous changes that have occurred on the Spartan Drive Campus. Since the successful passage of the 2009 referendum, the college has opened new buildings, including the Renner Academic Library and Learning Resources, the Health and Life Sciences Building, and renovated space on campus to create more classrooms, labs, and study spaces for students. These renovations and new facilities reinforce ECC’s commitment to teaching and learning. Best of luck on your studies. I hope you have a rewarding year!

  • Enrollment Summary2015
    ENROLLMENT SUMMARY 2015 Division of Enrollment Management and Marketing TABLE OF CONTENTS LETTER TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY University Enrollment 2 University Colleagues, Undergraduate Enrollment 4 It is with great pleasure that I present DePaul’s 2015 enrollment summary. This annual Freshman Enrollment 6 report describes the university’s enrollment profile and how it has changed over the years Transfer Enrollment 8 as we have pursued our ambitious enrollment goals. Freshman and Transfer Demographics 10 DePaul’s fall 2015 enrollment of 23,539 students surpassed not only the overall target, Freshman Admission Trends 12 but also the individual targets for the undergraduate, graduate and law populations. And even with a slightly lower overall enrollment than last year, we generated a record level of Transfer Admission Trends 13 tuition revenue. Taken together, these successes are critical to maintaining and enhancing Retention and Graduation Rates 14 our academic enterprise. Graduate and Law Enrollment 16 One of the most promising achievements this fall is in new student enrollment. The 6,415 New Graduate Enrollment 18 new students eclipse the budget target by 4 percent, creating a multiple-year positive Credit Hour Distribution 21 impact that positions us favorably to weather the inevitable market volatility we will Diversity 22 encounter in upcoming enrollment cycles. National Comparisons 24 The diversity of our students also stands out. The 8,229 students of color represent the highest number ever at DePaul. Students of color comprise 38 percent of undergraduate students, 29 percent of graduate students and 25 percent of law students—all university records. While many institutions talk about improving diversity, we achieve it.
