Ozarka Realizes Record Increase for Summer II

Published on July 14, 2010

After the record increase experienced during the Summer I term, Ozarka College is now having record enrollment for Summer II which began on July 6th.

"Enrollment has risen 41% during this semester, which is generally lower than the first summer session," according to Vice President of Student Services, Ron Helm. "In 2009 we had 176 students in Summer II classes, and we currently have 249 students enrolled. This includes classes at our main campus in Melbourne and the off-campus sites in Ash Flat and Mountain View; as well as online courses." Helm notes that the online headcount is actually the highest during this term.

The increase is significantly credited to the expanded course offerings and the recent restructuring of the Federal Pell Grant program which opened up new financial aid opportunities for those students taking summer classes. Helm explains, "the improved program allows students to accelerate the completion of their degree and certificate programs by taking classes year round."
