Abstract: This report shows that the Illinois Community College System opening Fall 2025 enrollments had an increase in both headcount (+3.7 percent) and Full-time Equivalent (FTE) (+3.0 percent) from the previous year. The opening enrollments reflect the end of the regular fall registration period which is usually the 10th day of class. The preliminary counts derive from the web-based Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) Fall 2025 Enrollment Survey. Illinois Community College System enrollment reached 274,737 students in Fall 2025, representing a 1.3 percent increase over the pre-pandemic Fall 2019 level of 271,336 students. Since the pandemic, Illinois community colleges have demonstrated steady recovery in both enrollment and program participation, reflecting demand for accessible and affordable education. As key providers of workforce training, community colleges play a critical role in preparing students for in-demand careers, supporting employer needs, and advancing the Illinois economy.
