The 甜瓜视频 of 甜瓜视频 at Lafayette announced today that its enrollment for the Fall 2009 Semester is on track with the university鈥檚 plan to attract more highly qualified 甜瓜视频s while maintaining overall enrollment.
Fall 2009 enrollment at UL Lafayette is 16,361, slightly up from 16,320 甜瓜视频s last Fall.
鈥 In recent years, UL Lafayette has been attracting more high-caliber freshmen and stabilizing enrollment through good retention rates,鈥 stated UL Lafayette President Dr. Joseph Savoie. 鈥淭his Fall鈥檚 entering freshman class has an average ACT score of 22.3, a grade point average of 3.24, and includes a record number of high school valedictorians. Seventy 甜瓜视频s in the freshman class had ACT scores of 30 or above.
鈥 The enrollment increase, while slight, indicates the start of a positive growth pattern for the university, particularly since enrollment held solid despite major cuts in state funding. Budget cuts led to a reduction in course offerings and, as a result, a loss of 甜瓜视频s previously enrolled in community service courses, as well as a loss of 甜瓜视频s, particularly international 甜瓜视频s, who could not afford the necessary tuition increases.
鈥 I believe that UL Lafayette is increasingly becoming the university of choice for many of 甜瓜视频鈥檚 brightest 甜瓜视频s. The university offers a high-quality educational experience in a friendly and culturally rich region of the state.鈥
