After four years of decline, Kansas University’s Lawrence campus reported a small uptick in spring enrollment after totaling numbers from a count taken last week on the 20th day of classes.

Total enrollment on the Lawrence campus went up 85 students, or .4 percent, from 22,971 in spring 2014 to 23,056 in spring 2015, according to the university.

Of those students:

• Half are men and half are women.

• 64 percent are from Kansas, and 36 percent are from out of state — the highest on record.

• 71 percent are white, and 19 percent are minorities.

• 75 percent are undergraduate students, and 25 percent are graduate students.

Universitywide, including KU Medical Center, enrollment is up 129 students, or half a percent, from enrollment in spring 2014. Total enrollment is 26,300 at KU’s Lawrence and Medical Center campuses. The university includes students on the Edwards campus, located in Overland Park, in its enrollment tally for the main campus.

KU attributes the increase to recruitment as well as retention efforts, said university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson.

“It’s really a reflection of KU’s overall efforts to not just recruit new students, but also to ensure that those students progress toward earning a degree,” she said.

Regarding graduation rates, Barcomb-Peterson said that KU’s fall 2010 cohort posted the highest four-year graduation rate in the school’s history, 41 percent.

Spring enrollment is usually lower than fall because of attrition and students graduating in December, although students who transfer to KU in the spring do offset that, Barcomb-Peterson said. Since there are differences in fall and spring enrollments, it’s valuable for KU to have a snapshot from both semesters, she said.
