Ain't it nice to be green...

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN! WATCH OUT EVE! (inside joke)

NOTE: I believe the official Fall numbers will come after the 10'th day of class as I recall.

Official numbers will be based on 12th class day enrollment.

There is always some slide back down as drops are cleaned up and certain types of students are removed (for some reason Texas doesn't count students that are 100% distance learners in the official headcount).

I believe last year that we were a couple of hundred over 28,000 at this time, and then ended up at just under 28,000 when the numbers were final. Could happen here with 30,000 or just under this time around.

Just curious as to what recent trends at UNT would say we could expect for today (Wednesday) as the last day for students to enroll. Would anyone out there tend to think it would be less or more than 100 students who would enroll? As I said, just curiuos...

Jim, where did you get that figure of 30,265 from? I couldn't find an article about it. I think 30K is a milestone to celebrate. It's hard to deny that any enrollment growth will eventually lead to more growth for athletics and attendance!!

Jeff, it was a number that came from one of this board's administrators (Cerebus) but lets see what happens after today's additions as today was the last day of enrollment.

I believe those numbers will be close to accurate as they are from our usual reliable sources (unless someone on campus is pulling a few legs and that is probably not likely).

After the 12 day class roll I believe (just as Cerebus posted in the football section) we will be just above 30,000 enrollment as a few students will fall thru the cracks and IMHO that will most likely be because of the lack of housing; but like Harry and I were talking today, this 30K plus enrollment is all happening much quicker than we anticipated if the figures given are even close to being accurate.
