The growth of the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) continues on an upward trajectory with one of the largest turnouts recorded for orientation ahead of the 2023 fall semester.
The college confirmed in a media release on Thursday that it recorded the highest number of dually enrolled students this semester.
According to the college, dually enrolled student refers to high school students who are taking high school and college courses simultaneously.
“A total of seventy (70) high school seniors from the Elmore Stoutt High School, Bregado Flax Educational Centre, and Ciboney School of Excellence joined other college freshmen at the orientation session held on July 14th,” HLSCC stated.
The high numbers resulted in the college experiencing a large turnout during their orientation on Monday for new students ahead of the semester.
“Faculty, staff, and volunteers welcomed new students with branded giveaways as they arrived on campus. Short informative sessions were held as well as tours of the campus facilities, including classrooms, labs, and recreational areas. There was also a complimentary buffet and an exhibition volleyball game in the afternoon,” the college stated.
The numbers are expected to increase as registration for returning students is ongoing until August 25, 2023, as well as the anticipation of a large number of returning students who are yet to register for classes this fall.
Classes begin at the college on August 28, 2023.
