Luna Community College is reporting an increase in enrollment this fall semester.

College reports show a 19 percent increase in headcount for Fall 2021 compared to Fall 2020. There are 807 students enrolled compared to the 676 of one year ago.

The number of full-time students is also up, 274 compared to 217. That’s a 26 percent increase.

“We are encouraged by these reports and are glad that our students are returning to Luna,” said President Dr. Edward Martinez. “Everyone on campus is committed to helping each student succeed in their individual educational journey. We thank our students for choosing Luna.”
