Redlands Community College is continuing to experience a remarkable increase in student enrollment, building upon the success of previous semesters. Total enrollment has surged by 15.3% compared to Fall 2023. Freshman enrollment has seen an impressive increase of 33.3%, while concurrent enrollment continues to grow, with a 26.6% rise.
"We are excited to see such significant growth in our student population," said Redlands President Jena Marr. "These numbers reflect the hard work of our faculty and staff in creating an engaging learning environment and expanding our program offerings to meet the demands of both students and industry partners."
The substantial increase in freshman enrollment demonstrates Redlands' growing appeal to new students, while the continued rise in concurrent enrollment underscores the college's strong partnerships with area high schools. As a long-standing provider of concurrent enrollment opportunities, Redlands continues to offer college classes tuition-free to high school juniors and seniors, with students only responsible for fees and textbooks. However, several general education courses utilize free e-textbooks and course materials.
"Our Admissions and Advising team has been instrumental in guiding both new and returning students towards the right courses and programs," Marr added. "Whether students are preparing for transfer to four-year universities or seeking skills for immediate career entry, we're dedicated to supporting their educational journey."
Additionally, Redlands' partnerships with career technology centers offer students innovative pathways to an associate degree. Students in eligible programs are able to combine block credit from a career technology center with general education course credit from Redlands to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree. Programs include options in Allied Health, Veterinary Assistant, Business and Accounting, Computer Systems and Applications, and Industrial Power and Transportation.
The second session of eight-week classes begins Oct. 14. Contact the Admissions and Advising office at 405.422.1417 or email Admissions@redlandscc.edu to enroll. The schedule of classes is available online at www.redlandscc.edu.
