(Alabama)- The Alabama Community College System reported enrollment numbers up over the previous year at the August Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, August 14, 2024.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve had an enrollment that high,” Neil Scott, vice chancellor of student success said. "The 2023-2024 headcount was the highest they have seen since 2013-2014," said Scott.
