Official census figures for fall 2010 show that Indiana University once again set a university-wide enrollment record. With a total of 109,445 students enrolled at all IU campuses this fall, the number represents a 2.1 percent increase over the previous year's record number of 107,160, and is the third consecutive year that enrollment has topped the 100,000 mark.
Additionally, the university as a whole set a record for credit hours students are enrolled in, with 1,277,400, which is an increase of 2.2 percent over last fall's record setting 1,250,480.5.
The total number of beginner students on IU campuses is slightly smaller by 652 students at 14,846, with every campus, except IU East, showing fewer students. This represents a -4.2 percent drop from the previous year. At the same time, however, every IU campus increased overall enrollment from last fall, with all but one setting new enrollment records for total students.
