Enrollment is up at Sinclair Community College.

According to the school, more than 20,300 students are signed up — its highest spring term in 13 years. That's up 3% from the prior year.

Some things contributing to Sinclair’s continued growth:

• The number of returning students who have re-enrolled is up 8% over last year.
• The College Credit Plus program is experiencing the highest participation to date. It’s expected to serve more than 12,000 students this year.
• More than 200 students are enrolled in Sinclair’s applied bachelor’s degree programs, a 25% increase.
• More than 1,500 military-affiliated students are enrolled, a 6% increase since last Spring.
• And international student enrollment is up nearly 20%.

Sinclair officials said these enrollment gains coincide with the introduction of new degrees and certificates designed to meet evolving workforce needs.
