NIU is seeing high numbers of students applying and has capped enrollment at 25,000. It also is taking steps to cut the costs of the applicant boom, including a change to online class schedule books for spring 2005.
About 3,100 freshmen and 2,000 transfers will enroll for fall 2004, said Donald Larson, NIU executive director of enrollment services.
The cap lowered enrollment figures from last fall’s 3,239 freshmen and 2,153 transfers, Larson said.
In one attempt to control the booming student population, NIU had to cap admissions for fall, said David Dunlap, director of marketing and public relations for NIU Housing and Dining Services.
About 2,300 freshmen and 1,150 transfers have registered so far, Larson said. Summer orientation is ongoing, so these figures are increasing daily, he said.
"We are anticipating an undergraduate enrollment of 18,200 to 18,400 students for fall," Larson said. "We are also planning to keep overall enrollment close to 25,000."
Meanwhile, another of the great characters of long standing has left us, once again to his eternal reward.
Colleagues remember respected professor.
