(MURFREESBORO) — First-day totals included 20,797 students enrolled in classes for the spring 2007 semester, Dr. Sherian Huddleston, associate vice provost for enrollment services, announced earlier today.
The Day 1 headcount was 350 more than the 20,447 students who attended the first day of classes Jan. 16, 2006, Huddleston said, adding that it is a 1.68 percent increase.
The 14-day census report date will be Monday, Jan. 29. Huddleston will submit final enrollment totals to the Tennessee Board of Regents that day.
By late morning, Huddleston and the academic affairs and student affairs offices reported no problems as classes resumed.
“I did see several people in financial aid and in admissions, students trying to get admitted,” Huddleston said.
There also was a line of students at the business office, which is located in the Cope Administration Building.
Huddleston said Jan. 29 also will be the same day students can receive a “75 percent fee refund if they drop below full time and the deadline for them to drop a course without a grade being recorded on their transcript.”
Students still can register for classes through Wednesday, Jan. 17, and can add classes through Friday, Jan. 19, Huddleston said, adding that students can drop any or all classes. In addition to other fees, there is a $100 late registration fee.
