BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Official fall enrollment figures were released today (Sept. 7) for Indiana University's eight campuses. They show a record enrollment for the Bloomington campus of 38,990, up from last year's 38,247, and a university-wide total number of 99,122 students, up from 97,959, on all eight IU campuses. This university-wide enrollment is the second highest in the university's history, with the record total set in the fall of 2003-04 at 99,164 students.

The trend toward higher course loads continued this fall with record numbers for credit hours taken at IU Bloomington (523,891.5), IUPUI (322,450.3) and university wide (1,145,001.3). At IUPUI this was the twelfth straight year that the credit-hours-taken total set a record. That number increased from 317,611.3 in 2006 to this year's figure, and the university-wide number was a record for the third year in a row, moving from 1,125,683 in 2005 to 1,127,005.8 in 2006 to this year's figure.

The overall totals show increases in students and credit hours taken on all campuses except IU Northwest, where numbers dropped only slightly. The biggest jump for enrollment was at IU Kokomo, and the largest increase for credit hours taken was at IU East.

At IU Kokomo, enrollment jumped by 101 students, from 2,734 last fall to 2,835, or 3.7 percent. The enrollment there also is notable in that the number of students attending directly from high school increased by 23 percent, one of the largest increases on record there.

The number of credit hours taken at IU East grew 3.9 percent from 21,688 in fall 2006 to 22,523 in 2007, and at this campus the number of students attending directly from high school increased by 25 percent, the largest increase on record.

Overall enrollment figures also show that minority enrollment has gone up, with a 1 percent increase for African American students, a 0.9 percent increase for American Indian students, a 7 percent increase for Asian American students, and a 5.1 percent increase for Hispanic students.
