ANNUAL ENROLLMENT REPORT
2010-2011
The annual enrollment report summarizes the various credit hour and student headcount data that
has been distributed throughout the academic year by the Office of Institutional Research and
Assessment. This report compares current data to data from the previous academic years. These
comparisons will show the short-term and long-term growth throughout the Metropolitan
Community College.
The sources used for this report are made available with each table. The numbers used in these
tables correlate to figures used for reporting to the Missouri Department of Higher Education (DHE)
and the National Center of Educational Statistics (NCES) under the Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS). Although not audited, these figures serve as official enrollment
numbers for the 2010-2011 academic year. Campus data is reported by campus of attendance.
MetroSoft replaced the Legacy system in fall 2001 and has changed certain processes and allowed
for additional data elements to be analyzed. The “campus of record” criterion is obsolete and the
campus is determined by the location where the student takes the class, or in the case of distance
education courses, by which campus hosts the class. The headcount at the district level is
unduplicated; however, within the campus, a student may be counted more than once if attending
multiple campuses.

Student Attendance Pattern
The day student population (enrolled in only day courses) percentage has remained approximately
the same portion over the last five years. Annual enrollments provide a unique challenge when
attempting to distinguish consumer habits when the choices are not dichotomous. The growth
experienced in mixed and/or TBA student population enrollment for the last five years is 10%.
Students are consumers who are taking classes that meet their specific schedules as illustrated by
the increase in mixed (day and evening/weekend) and/or to be announced (TBA, which are mostly
Internet courses) class schedules.
