When we first arrived at ICCI there were 92 students attending the school for the summer quarter of 2007. That fall, our first full quarter of work, we raised our enrollment to 138 students and set a goal of getting to 200 students by the fall of 2009. The fall is typically our largest quarter for the year. Each quarter for the past seven quarters we have steadily increased our enrollment seeing decreases in our overall numbers only in our summer numbers when a lot of students take a quarter off for holiday. Even in the summer quarters though we saw increases in numbers over previous summers and every quarter that we have been here since summer 2007 has seen at least a 5% increase over the same quarter the year before and in many instances 10 and even 20% increases over the previous year. Three days into the fall 2009 quarter and with late registration closing on Friday we are currently at 216 students, exceeding the goal we set two years ago and increasing our numbers over last fall when we had 162 students, by almost 30%. Of equal significance, our seat count is up dramatically. Seats are the number classes a student takes. One student may take three classes and therefore have 3 "seats". You would rather have 1 student in 3 classes than 2 student each in just one since you make money per seat not per student. So financially the important track has been on the number of seats and this fall we are looking at over 450 seats already registered for. In the fall of 2007 we had 304 seats so we have increased our seat count in two years by over 150 seats for the fall quarter. We are very proud of the increase and believe the college is on a great track as we head into the 2009-2010 calendar and as we head toward the 40th anniversary of the college next September.
