UNT Dallas Campus enrollment spikes 18 percent; headcount and FTEs reach record high
DALLAS – On-site enrollment at the University of North Texas Dallas Campus spiked to a record headcount of 2,212 students for the fall 2008 semester, according to unofficial census figures taken on the semester's 12th day of classes. That figure represents an 18 percent increase over the 12th class day headcount of 1,874 in fall 2007. Most important for the campus is its increase in full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment. The campus reached 959 full-time equivalents, an 18 percent increase over the fall 2007 figure of 814. Under Texas state law, the UNT Dallas Campus can become a free-standing, four-year university when student full-time equivalent enrollment reaches 1,000. Reaching that milestone would release additional state funding for further development of the campus, but university officials say the campus' rapid growth means the money will be needed sooner.
