Full-time equivalent enrollment a figure arrived at by calculating the total number of students as if each were taking 15 credit hours is up 6 percent to 10,498. We re very pleased with the increased enrollment. I think our fall numbers reflect a smooth transition to the semester system.
Students are now comfortable with the change and they re coming back to class.
Among age groups at WSU, the fastest growing is students over 50, who showed a 15 percent increase to 245 students. Students between the ages of 25 and 29 showed the next largest increase at 12 percent, or an increase of 245 to 2,228 students. In all, students over the age of 25 account for 4,847 of WSU s population. Traditional students those under the age of 25 account for the remaining 10,137. The reports are preliminarily numbers and will be subject to review and verification by the Board of Regents.
