Slight dip in Hancock enrollment, fees up - Michelle Hatfield - Lompoc Record
Nearly 8,000 students started school at Allan Hancock College Monday despite a 44 percent increase in per-unit fees. Based on head count, enrollment was down 5 percent compared to last year as of Friday, according to spokeswoman Rebecca Alarcio.... While head count numbers were slightly down, the community college's distance learning enrollment skyrocketed by 30 percent when compared to last year. "The growth is out of control," Alarcio said about the instruction that utilizes Internet, video and audio for instruction and interaction. "This has been the strongest segment of our enrollment for some time." During the 2003-04 school year, distance learning offered 79 sections with 2,046 students. So far this school year, there are 103 sections with 2,492 students, Alarcio said.
