At South Plains College, a commitment to students is drawing quite a crowd.
 

While enrollment for the fall semester has declined at Texas Tech University, SPC has set yet another annual record.

For fall 2004, SPC has enrolled 9,647 students, including all sites such as the Reese Center campus, classes offered at Texas Tech, the Advance Technology Center, and the Levelland Campus. The number represents an increase of 2 percent overall since fall 2003. The Levelland campus has 6,007 students, 3689 at Reese Center, and 807 at the Advanced Technology Center. Enrollment at the Reese campus has declined by 136 students, while the Levelland campus added 311 students. According to enrollment figures, all off-campus sites are not showing the rapid growth rate that Levelland is. Yet, all show to fluctuate each year.

SPC features 575 employees, including 250 faculty members, all working hard to assist each student accordingly. The staff numbers are said to grow along with the expansion of this college’s populace.

“I am always glad to see the campus growing,” said David Jones, vice president of student services, “It is offering more education to more students. Yet, of course it comes with the consequences such as stuffed parking lots and longer registration lines each year.”
Jones also claimed that accommodations would be made accordingly as they have already begun to add to the campus a parking lot, new buildings, and additions to the buildings we all ready have. SPC is full speed ahead of likely anticipations to break even another enrollment record in fall 2005.
