Fall enrollment only slightly off from last year

While the campus is a much quieter place with fewer students scurrying around, enrollment
hasn't significantly been affected.

The threat of the coronavirus and uncertainty about how campuses will operate in the fall had threatened to drive prospective college students to reconsider their options for the fall semester amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A comparison of FAMU’s  August 26, 2019 vs August 26, 2020 enrollment statistics shows that the university’s headcount is down by only 236 students.  The numbers suggest that the fall headcount looks far more promising than it did earlier in the spring at the onset of the pandemic.

With students still registering for classes during the “drop and add period” the university could still meet or surpass its enrollment goals for fall.
