Summer student registration highest in three years

The College of Micronesia-FSM has enrolled 1,590 students as of June 1, 2010. This figure, which excludes the enrollment numbers from Yap Campus, is the highest summer enrollment the College has recorded for the past three summers.

Crowds of students show up at the National Campus
during Summer Registration.

According to Joey Oducado, the College’s registrar, the following are the enrollment figures for each campus:

• National Campus: 837
• Pohnpei Campus: 379
• Chuuk Campus: 340
• Kosrae Campus: 159

Yap Camps will begin their enrollment process next week.

Enrollment figures at the National Campus alone show an increase of 45% compared to summer 2007 figures. All campuses see a steady rise in the number of students registering during summer semesters. This summer’s enrollment figure at the National Campus is higher than last year’s by 20%. Kosrae, the FSM state with the lowest population, is able to increase its enrollment figures since last summer for at least 12%.

Enrollment figures from Yap and FSM-FMI campuses will be made available after next week.
