UNT's Summer II enrollment down slightly from last year's total enrollment numbers

Enrollment reports after the census date for the 2003 Summer II semester show that the number of students attending the second summer term dipped by 61 students below the second summer session of 2002.

This year's enrollment of 9,465 students is down 0.6 percent from the total number of Summer II students last year. Enrollment for Summer I was 1.9 percent below the numbers for Summer I 2002. However, this year's declines (and the significant increase last year) can be directly traced to the number of students participating in a one-year grant program in the College of Education.

The College of Education enrolled 755 students last summer in a special Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund program that, when coupled with the university's regular growth pattern, boosted the university's Summer I enrollment by 14.6 percent and its Summer II enrollment by 8.5 percent.

According to Joneel Harris, associate vice president for enrollment management, other factors such as the reduced number of classes offered and the prolonged construction on Interstate 35E also likely played a part in keeping the university's enrollment from following its steady growth pattern this summer.
