The University of Houston-Victoria reports more than 3,000 students registered and the Victoria College records show more than 4,000.
VC’s official enrollment numbers will be available on Sept. 10, and UHV’s figures will be available in late September.
“We are at about the same number of students as last year,” Kimberly Haschke, VC director of marketing and communications, said.
The college maintains its enrollment by offering dual credit hours to high school students and the 2-plus-2 transfer plan, which allows for a seamless transfer for students seeking a bachelor’s degree, Haschke said.
“We offer the 2-plus-2 plan through many universities including UHV,” she said.
UHV credits its growth to online classes, its nursing programs and available grants and scholarships and many other resources, Margaret Rice, executive assistant to the UHV president, said.
“We have developed academic programs that meet the needs of our society,” Tim Hudson, UHV president, said in a news release.
Students who meet requirements can co-enroll at UHV and VC. The co-enrollment helps students who are ready to begin junior level courses but are missing a couple of lower level courses, Rice said.
“The co-enrollment shows the flexibility of the college,” Haschke said.
VC is conducting a study for students and community members to receive feedback on the college’s course scheduling, she said.
“Results from the survey will be used to assist VC in determining future class schedules and offerings,” Haschke said.
The growth at UHV has opened new sections and increased the number of students allowed in several courses, Suzanne LaBrecque, UHV provost, said in a news release.
“We have raised record amounts of private funds to help students pay for their education,” Hudson said.
The new grants and scholarships and academic programs have helped UHV increase student enrollment and reach new milestones, he said.
