College enrollment increases by almost 12,000 in Utah The Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) announced Monday that its enrollment numbers for fall 2008 increased by 11,896 total students, an increase in-crease of 8.48 percent. "The recent change in the nation's economic climate cli-mate is certainly a factor fac-tor contributing to these increases,"" Said Commissioner Commis-sioner of Higher Education Educa-tion William Sederburg. "When job opportunities lessen, people often return to college for more education educa-tion or training. Higher education ed-ucation plays a critical role in the economic vitality of our state. An investment in today's college students yields tremendous returns in our future economy." The budget-related full-time full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount, which approximates approxi-mates the number of students stu-dents enrolled full-time (15 semester hours for undergraduate under-graduate students and 10 ; semester hours for graduate gradu-ate students) per semester, also increased significantly by 2,717 FTE system-wide, this figure is used by USHE in seeking state-supported funding for higher education educa-tion (see attached table). Part of the large in crease in non-budget related relat-ed enrollment is due to the method by which students are counted. According to Sederburg, "We are standardizing stan-dardizing our approach so that in future years we get better comparative data in this category." Non-budget related enrollment includes t concurrent enrollment and "programs financed strictly by tuition. "With enrollments in-. in-. creasing in the face of four-percent budget cuts, this will be a challenging year for our presidents," Commissioner Sederburg stated, "Fortunately, Utah ' I i -C qoot house in4? 1 J nvtti-irA ,1 ,u --. .... y " . 129:30s, 2? 3, Ji J liWWWfw ikx VMj njsm. i' A " I . i ' il r it i liiii Cm f' has very capable, experienced experi-enced and dedicated presidents presi-dents leading each of our colleges and universities."

"Utah Valley University Univer-sity continues on the same growth trajectory this academic aca-demic year as it has the past few years," said Liz Hitch, Interim President of Utah Valley University, Enrollment at UVU went from 23,840 in 2007 to 26,696 in 2008, a change of 2,856.
