Enrollment in Non-Credit Courses

Douglas College's enrollment in non-
credit courses continued to climb
dramatically last fall.

Community Programs and Services
showed a dramatic increase, with a
22 per cent growth. Registration
jumped from 4,062 in the fall of
1983 to 4,957, up 895.

  
  
 

The number of courses programmed also
grew to 312 from 263 over the pre-
vious fall semester, while actual
course cancellations only went to 20
per cent of those offered from a
previous figure of 19 per cent.

According to Community Programs and
Services Dean, Jim Doerr, who was
pleased about the growth in registra-
tions, the 20 per cent cancellation
rate means the College is trying out
new and innovative programming.

“Programming the right courses in the
present external enviornment is a
very difficult task but according to
our numbers, it appears our program-
mers are doing it right."

Average class size in the Community
Programs area is 19.90, up slightly
from 19°..16.
