Enrollment appears to be increasing for California community colleges after pandemic declines from 2020 to 2022, according to a recent memo from the state chancellor’s office.

According to the memo, several campuses across the state ranging from those in San Diego to San Jose are reporting double-digit increases this fall. While statewide data for the start of the school year aren’t yet available, the chancellor reported enrollment went up this past spring by 8 percent across the system of 116 community colleges.
