MARYLAND- Last year due to the pandemic, college enrollment saw a dip.
“We received over 8,600 applications last year, however as the pandemic continued when we came up to fall we did experience a decline because of the medical and financial uncertainty,” Latoya Jenkins, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Experience, said.
But since last year, we’re told things are looking up.
Salisbury University said they are seeing a slight shift in enrollment numbers.
“We are actually up in enrollment students at the moment, date to date, so we are still very much in the process of getting our class,” Beth Skoglund, Salisbury University Director of Admissions, said.

OHIO, USA Before we know it, colleges will be back in session. While some universities like Cleveland State are requiring students to have the vaccine before living on campus, not all schools are.
Leaders at Owens Community College say they will absolutely not be requiring any students to be vaccinated before returning to campus. The school is however, encouraging students and staff to get vaccinated, but there is no requirement and they will not be asking for proof of vaccination.
Following guidance from the state of Ohio, Owens will also not be requiring face masks either, however, they are encouraging anyone who feels more comfortable wearing one to do so.
