What Happened With Fall Enrollment in Georgia’s Public Colleges and Universities?
As Georgia’s public colleges and universities faced the fall semester with both the coronavirus and an economic downturn, the outlook for enrollments was unclear.
Postsecondary enrollment tends to rise with the unemployment rate, but the pandemic introduced new challenges to individuals’ and families’ health, caregiving responsibilities and financial security. Though University System of Georgia (USG) schools saw increased enrollments, technical colleges experienced steep drops from the double impacts of coronavirus and new Dual Enrollment policies.
The following comparisons are between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020. Data will be available later this year for the spring semester, which will provide a more complete picture for the academic year.

ATLANTA - Former University System of Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby died Wednesday at age 79 after suffering a stroke last week.
Huckaby served a brief stint in the state House of Representatives representing a Watkinsville-based district and before that spent years as an administrator at the University of Georgia.
He was named chancellor of the university system in 2011 and served in that role until retiring in early 2017.
“He was a true gentleman and a pillar of the Athens and Oconee County community,” Gov. Brian Kemp said. “Hank left Georgia better than he found it, and for that, we are forever grateful. We will continue to lift the Huckaby family up in our prayers in the coming days.”
