The first day of fall semester classes at the Cloud County Community College Geary County Campus was Tuesday.

Brenda Edleston, Associate Vice President for the Geary County Campus informed JC Post that there is a good enrollment total.  The 374 total  is down 2 percent, meaning there are 10 less students than last fall. But the students that are enrolled are taking more courses that in the fall of 2014. So there are an additional 454 credit hours in which students are enrolled.

“And what it means for us is that more students are opting to go to full time status. And we’re very pleased with that because the research indicates that a student who goes full time is more likely to complete their degree.”

Edleston said additional students are expected to enroll in October when the school’s second eight-week series of classes begin.
