Tarrant County College Sees Biggest Enrollment Recovery Since the Pandemic

FORT WORTH, Texas — Tarrant County College fall enrollment across its six campuses exceeds a post-pandemic high at 47,351 students, a 5.24 percent increase over fall 2023. The figure includes approximately 12,500 dual-enrolled (dual credit and Early College High School) students.

Enrollment is expected to grow during the semester because TCC has multiple start dates depending on the program. The growth comes despite financial aid delays caused by problems with the new FAFSA form.

Registration for the second eight-week term is under way through Oct. 10. For class schedule information, visit www.tccd.edu.

Additional programming is available at the TCC Opportunity Center and the Tarrant Small Business Development Center.
