Johnston Community College Record Enrollment
Published: Tuesday, January 7, 2025Johnston Community College Announces Fourth Semester of Record Enrollment
Johnston Community College (JCC) has reached another enrollment milestone, achieving
its highest-ever enrollment for a spring semester. On day one of classes for the spring
semester, the college had 5,246 degree-seeking students enrolled. That is a ten percent
increase over last spring, marking the College’s fourth consecutive semester of double-digit
enrollment percentage increases.
"We are proud to welcome another record-breaking number of new and returning students
to the JCC community," said President Dr. Vern L. Lindquist. "This continued growth
underscores the appeal of our programs, the value of our education, and the trust
that students and their families place in us.”
In its ongoing commitment to student success and community impact, JCC has entered
into several strategic partnerships to bolster enrollment and retention. The College
has engaged in targeted outreach programs and implemented innovative technologies
to drive student success and support—all while being supported by the Johnston County
Commissioners’ Promise, a last-dollar funding initiative for recent Johnston High
School graduates.
JCC is using advanced student engagement platforms, predictive analytics for early
intervention, and digital resources to enhance the learning experience and encourage
persistence.
“As we expand our reach and enhance our offerings, we are not just transforming individual
lives—we’re changing the trajectories of entire families and communities,” Lindquist
said. “This is the core mission of a community college, and it’s a mission we are
proud to bring to life every single day.”
