Newly released data shows the continued decline of students enrolling at Fullerton College and the degree to which spring semester on-campus class plans were stymied by the COVID-19 omicron variant surge. Enrollment at FC peaked at approximately 25,400 total students in fall 2014 and has been in an overall decline since. With funding for the college partially based on enrollment, in the long term this can threaten the classes and programs it is able to offer students. These enrollment trends mirror those happening nationally in higher education, with a report by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center showing a 6.6% decline in undergraduate enrollment between the fall terms in 2019 and 2021 — about a million fewer undergraduate college students during the pandemic period.
