SALT LAKE CITY -- Enrollment at Utah's colleges continues to surge, and that includes the summer semesters. Now some schools are just hoping to keep their enrollment open.
Salt Lake Community College is one of the schools experiencing a summer boom.
"We're up 5,000 more students this summer. That's 28 percent," says college spokesman Joy Tlou.
Tlou says the college has plenty of different options to try and fit students in.
"With classes running from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and online classes, [and] the classes that are mixed both online and in the classroom," Tlou says.
The school expects another surge of students this fall. So, does that mean a cap be coming soon?
"We have no plans to change our open-enrollment policy," Tlou says.
He says the school isn't even discussing it. If they ever did, he says it would be on a class-by-class basis, not for the whole school.
