ECCC sees record enrollment By Lynnetta Cookse y The Meridian Star DECATUR - A continuing image of excellence has once again netted East Central Community College a record enrollment. Enrollment figures for the fall semester show ECCC has reached the 1,800 mark, a goal they set last summer after a record enroll– ment last year. Director of Admissions, Records and Research Raymond McMullan said as of Thursday afternoon, the school had 1,828 students enrolled on all its cam– puses. This is about a seven-and-a– half percent increase from the same time period last year, he said. The enrollment for fall semester 1995 was 1,698, then an all-time high for the school. Of that 1,828 student, 1,279 are listed as full-time , also an increase from last year's 1,182 full-time students. Part-time enrollment also went up slightly, from 516 to 549. ECCC President Eddie Smith said he was delighted with the increase. "We are very pleased with the enrollment," he said. "There was an increase in enrollment from all our supporting counties, as well." One significant increase was in the area of students who plan to transfer after two years at the col– lege, Smith said.
