ANNUAL ENROLLMENT REPORT
2007-2008
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 Research, Evaluation 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 2007-2008
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 The “campus of record” criterion is obsolete and the campus is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 and the evening/weekend
student populations (enrolled in only evening/weekend courses) has decreased over the last five
years. Annual enrollments provide a unique challenge when attempting to distinguish consumer
habits when the choices are not dichotomous. The decline in evening only enrollment for the five
years is 16%. 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.
