BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees got another round of good news about enrollment at colleges across the state during its Wednesday meeting at Drake State Community and Technical College in Huntsville.

“We have finally exceeded the 98,000 mark for students this fall,” Vice Chancellor Neil Scott told trustees. “That is a 9.6% increase over the final fall ‘24 number. That equates to over 8,500 additional students and 23 of our 24 colleges are ahead of their final fall ‘24 number.

“This is incredible,” he continued. “A lot of credit needs to go to our colleges, our presidents, their faculty and staff, because the work that is happening for me to be able to report this every month is coming directly from these colleges.”
