During the next seven years, enrollment on both campuses rose from 8,993 to 12,602 for a total increase of 40 percent. The full-time equivalent enrollment (FTE) leveled off in 1982 and then decreased by 11 percent from 1982 to 1984. For the next eight years, enrollment rose to 17,986 students by 1992. The Providence campus, which opened in 1990, and unemployment waivers added to this growth. Through the remainder of the 1990 s, enrollment fell back to pre 1991 levels. From 1999 to 2004, FTE enrollment grew by 12 percent. From 2006 to 2009, CCRI recorded new peak FTE enrollments. The opening of the Newport County Campus in 2005 contributed to these new records. Note: Only credit enrollments are represented in these totals including off-campus and those credit enrollments in the Center for Business and Industrial Training. 4

The information collected from the graduates is available by each program of study. Only an overall summary is reported here. The full report can be found at http://www.ccri.edu/irpl/graduates.shtml. Looking at the seven choices, 83 percent of the 2008 graduates are employed in some capacity. Also, 36.5 percent of the graduates are continuing their education (35.9 percent for 2007).

Part of the mission of the Community College is to provide the citizens of the state with an open access college. In order to fulfill this mission, the Community College has attempted to maintain tuition and fees at a modest level. However, during economic recessions, state appropriation budget cuts sometimes require the Board of Governors to increase tuition at a rate needed to offset some of the fiscal rescission. This explains some of the tuition and fee increases in the early 1990 s and more recently in 2004-2005 through 2008-2009. From 1995-1996 to 1999-2000, tuition was held at the same rate of $783 per semester. However, there was a $10 increase in fees effective with the fall 1997 semester. Beginning in 2000-2001 through 2008-2009, tuition and fees climbed nearly 66 percent. The 9 percent increase in the 2004-2005 school year was the largest in 10 years. 2008-2009 Semester Fees Registration $17 Student Union Fee $10 Student Activity Fee $36 Learning Resource Fee $40 Technology Fee $45 16
