The total minority population for the Spring 2010 census is 4,185 down 10.5% from the prior year s census. Please note small number changes can result in large percent changes for groups with low counts. Table 3.

4 Enrollment by Age Just over thirty eight percent (38.4%) of the Spring 2010 credit students are 25 years of age or older representing a 1.7% decrease from 40.1% at the 2009 Spring census for the 25 and older population. The largest number change is represented by the age category with an increase of 904 students (+15.4%). The overall average age of credit students at JJC for Spring 2010 is 26.4 years of age. The overall average age decreased by 1.3 years for the previous Spring census of 27.7 years Please note small number changes can result in large percent changes for groups with low counts. Table 4.

JJC has witnessed a 31.2% increase to the number of returning students (+690). The dramatic shift in transfer students may be mostly attributed to census computer programming change. Data definitions: New Freshman A student not previously enrolled in college; New Pre College includes early entry and dual credit; Transfer a student entering JJC having earned credit at another college/university; Continuing A student who has enrolled at JJC the previous term; Returning a student who has enrolled at JJC previously but not in the previous term.
