| Abstract: |
Under the authority of the P-20 Longitudinal Education Data System Act (105 ILCS 13/1 et seq.) (the "LDS Act"), the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) is the State Education Authority responsible for collecting and maintaining enrollment, completion, and student characteristic information on community college students. The data within the Annual Enrollment and Completion Report derive from ICCB's Centralized Data System. Illinois Community Colleges submit Annual Enrollment (A1) microdata for individuals who are officially enrolled at the college in credit coursework at any time during the specified fiscal year. Beginning in fiscal year 2014, the Annual Completions (A2) submission is the microdata source of student completions. This year's Annual Enrollment and Completion Report is based on fiscal year 2025 enrollments and completions. Comparative information is supplied from four previous fiscal years (2021-2024). Detailed tables comparing fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 credit headcount, full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments, and graduates by college are included. FTE enrollments in this report are based on all credit hours attempted. Thirty credit hours equal one FTE. Also included in the Annual Enrollment and Completion Report is information about noncredit offerings for the current year (2025) and the four previous fiscal years (2021-2024). Noncredit courses provide another delivery method of education, training, and public service by community colleges to the communities they serve. Since fiscal year 1999, the Illinois community colleges have submitted Noncredit Enrollment (N1) annual microdata for students containing demographic and course information on the wide range of noncredit instruction. |
