Record High Enrollment for TJC

TYLER — Officials say it’s a great way to kick off Tyler Junior College’s 85th anniversary year. According to press materials, total fall enrollment at TJC is at an all-time high, thanks to a special 12-week session added to meet student demand. As of Tuesday, enrollment for all fall courses was 12,062, TJC President Dr. Mike Metke reported. In Fall 2010, the College reported an enrollment of 11,738. The increase is roughly 2.7 percent, with all fall terms reported.

“Our course offerings continue to be in great demand, even to the extent that we were unable to accommodate every student for the regular fall semester,” Dr. Metke said. “With the establishment of the additional 12-week term, we were able to accommodate most, if not all, of the students who wish to be enrolled at TJC this fall.”
