The number of students transferring from another college or university has increased 12 per cent over last year. "More scholarship students are attending this year than ever before," said Susan Salusbury, University Registrar. This includes prestigious scholarship winners from the Peterborough and Lindsay areas. "It reinforces the quality of the students who attend Trent and who thrive in our unique learning environment. "The increase in the number of students is attributed to the quality of our programs; students tell us that the reason they are transferring is because of the programs we offer and the experiences that their peers have had at Trent University," she said. Final enrolment numbers will be confirmed by the official November 1, 2005 count date. However, preliminary projections show approximately 2,000 new full-time students will register for courses this year. Limited enrolment programs such as Education, Forensics, and Nursing are all filled this year. The B.Ed. (consecutive program), in particular, has seen an increase of over 50 per cent in the number of full-time and part-time students attending this year.
