**For Immediate Release** Preliminary Figures Reflect 20-Year Record By Laura Hays on 02/04/2010 Goodwell, Okla. — Preliminary enrollment figures reported to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) for the spring 2010 semester include 1,235 students enrolled in 16,719 credit hours. Compared to the 2009 spring figures, the number of students reflects an 11.5% increase and the number of credit hours reflects a 13% increase.

Both figures also indicate significant increases in the numbers that were used to calculate OPSU’s budget. The budgeted head count (1,125) for the spring 2010 semester was exceeded by 9.8% and the budgeted credit hours (15,750) were exceeded by 6%.

The spring 2010 enrollment is the highest spring enrollment in 20 years at OPSU. President Dave Bryant attributes the increase to efforts of faculty and staff directed at recruiting, retention, and student service at the 100-year-old educational institution.
