Undergraduate Enrollment Stayed Steady This Spring. It’s Still 1 Million Students Below Pre-Pandemic Levels. By  Audrey Williams June May 24, 2023

Undergraduate enrollment for the spring of 2023 remained stable from a year ago, according to new data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.

Undergraduate enrollment fell 0.2 percent, or 25,000 students, this spring compared to a year ago.

“We’re stabilizing at a level that’s still far below where we were before the pandemic,” said Doug Shapiro, executive director of the Center.

The total number of undergraduates is nearly 1.2 million fewer than there were in the spring of 2020.
