THUNDER BAY -- After several years of rapidly increasing enrollment, it looks like Confederation College is seeing a small dip in numbers for the current school year.

The annual enrollment numbers give the college insight on how the new programs are being accepted and an opportunity to compare the number of students enrolled, to previous years.

Confederation College has about 4,000 full-time students enrolled. These numbers are similar to last year, with a slight decrease of 43 students.

With the college opening up winter semester registration, the numbers are expected to go up.

Bob Backstrom, vice-president of Student and Corporate Services, says it's important that the school offer new programs which help keep their numbers steady.

Applications are now being accepted for courses beginning winter 2013.

Enrollment numbers at Lakehead University are not yet available. They're expected to be released in early November.
