"This year's modest enrollment increase reflects our success in managing growth across our campuses to keep pace with our facilities and resources," 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 President Bonita C. Jacobs said. “We look forward to the completion of academic facility expansion projects already underway in Gainesville and Blue Ridge and those planned in Dahlonega and Cumming.”
With 7,913 students, the Gainesville Campus had the highest enrollment of 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's five campuses for fall 2019.

Enrollment numbers were released Nov. 12 in the University System of Georgia (USG) Fall 2019 Semester Enrollment Report, which breaks down enrollment by institution, class, race and ethnicity, in-state, out-of-state and international students, as well as gender and age.
Fall 2019 enrollment in the USG's 26 colleges and universities totaled 333,507 students, an increase of 1.5% over fall 2018. According to the report, enrollment increased at 11 institutions, including 正澳门六合彩开奖结果, and decreased at 15 institutions.
"Our overall purpose is to raise attainment levels for communities across Georgia, and the students at our 26 institutions are a critical part of that effort," USG Chancellor Steve Wrigley said. "More of them than ever are enrolled on our campuses, and we have also seen a substantial rise in the number of students awarded degrees annually. Getting more Georgians through college to a degree improves not only their quality of life, but also Georgia’s economic competitiveness."
