Notes: (1) Students in the ”on-campus credit” category are included in the “all credit” category. (2) The category of “on-campus credit” excludes the following non-traditional classes: Fire Academy, Contract Management, Criminal Justice Academy, Quality Assurance, Business Seminar, and Distance Education (online, television, and hybrid). (1) In the calculation of headcount each student is counted once. In calculation of enrollment students are counted for each section in which they enroll.
•• Student headcount and enrollments in credit and non-credit courses at Santa Ana College declined
each of the three fall semesters from 2009–2011 due to state-imposed reductions in the number of students funded, which resulted in fewer sections being offered compared to previous years. •• Student headcount and enrollments in all types of credit courses was higher in fall 2012 compared
to the prior two years. There has been a consistent decrease in non-credit student headcount and enrollments due to a parallel decrease in the number of non-credit offerings. •• For both categories of credit courses, the average number of enrollments per student has increased
significantly in the past five years from 2.6 to 3.5.
