UC Clermont College Enrollment Tops 4,000 Students for First Time
UC Clermont Colleges enrollment topped 4000 students for the first time in its 38-year history when classes began September 22. This is a nine percent increase in enrollment over the previous fall term. When the college opened in 1972 the enrollment was less than 300 students all housed in one building. The college has grown to six buildings and expanded off campus at the new site in the former Ford Plant now known as UC East.
UC Clermont College has experienced unprecedented growth in the last few years with enrollment increasing 69 percent in the last 10 years alone, said UC Clermont Dean Gregory Sojka. This is the second largest increase for regional campuses in the state of Ohio.
UC Clermont College students were greeted with a new access road on and off campus in Batavia. The connector road Old State Route 74 to College Drive was finished just in time for the rush of students coming back.
Students coming back are enthusiastic about the changes they see on campus. Its an exciting time to be a part of this campus. There is so much going on here with so many new students there is a lot of interest in student activities. The new road is so helpful and makes for easier access to and from the college for so many of us - it couldnt have opened at a better time, said Student Tribunal President James Stewart.
