Full-time fall enrollment at Illinois’ public universities has hit its highest level in more than a decade, according to a preliminary report released Friday by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

 

The report shows that 190,114 students were enrolled in one of the state’s 12 public universities as of the 10^th day of the fall semester, a 287-student increase from last year. That total is headcount enrollment, meaning it accounts for both full-time and part-time students.
