With the tenth day of classes happening on Friday, enrollment numbers are set to be released late next week.

Last year, Eastern’s fall enrollment dropped by almost 13 percent, going down from 8,520 to 7,415. In the spring semester, it went even lower to 6,673.

Josh Norman, associate vice president for enrollment management, said current reports indicate that freshman numbers are going to be down this year, while transfer, graduate and international undergraduate numbers are up.

However, the freshman enrollment number will have the smallest deficit in overall headcount the university has had in five years, he said.
