Spring Enrollment Blossoms at San Bernardino Valley College

SAN BERNARDINO>> San Bernardino Valley College’s first day of the spring semester saw more students enrolled in spring classes than at any other point since the Great Recession. As students explored the campus’s renovated facilities and green spaces, instructors and administrators rushed to their classes and regular meetings. One topic of conversation was the uncharacteristically pleasant January weather, which tempted some students to linger on campus just a bit little longer than usual. Another topic was the remarkable increase in spring enrollment, which hit 12,567 students by the end of the day. This number exceeded enrollment at the end of the fall semester by about 500 students. “Spring enrollment is traditionally significantly lower than the preceding fall,” said Vice President of Student Services Dr. Ricky Shabazz. To see an increase this year is particularly encouraging for administrators, who had been leading a year-long, campus-wide effort to increase enrollment over the prior year. Classes have already started for some students, but there are still plenty of classes open and available for those who would prefer to start the semester in February or March. “It’s really exciting to be so close to the finish line,” said Luis Macedo, a business major. He graduates this May.
