UNIVERSITY REPORTS SUMMER ENROLLMENT

The summer pre-session at Southeast Missouri State University began Tuesday, with 1,308 students enrolled.

A total of 1,190 undergraduates and 118 graduate students are enrolled in the short summer session, Art Wallhausen, assistant to the president at Southeast, said Wednesday.

The numbers are down only slightly from last year's four-week session. Last year, a total of 1,326 students were enrolled 1,193 undergraduates and 133 graduate students, Wallhausen said.

In 1989, 1,299 students were enrolled in the four-week session 1,165 undergraduates and 134 graduate students.

Wallhausen said the four-week session doesn't attract a lot of students. "The maximum (credit hours) you can take is four hours. Most are taking three hours," he said.

"We don't really pay a lot of attention to it."

The four-week session ends June 14.

The eight-week summer session begins June 18 and ends with final exams on Aug. 8 and 9. Summer commencement will be held Aug. 9, Wallhausen said.

Last year, 2,092 undergraduates and 659 graduate students were enrolled in the eight-week session. In 1989, 2,108 undergraduates and 664 graduate students were enrolled in the regular summer session.

University offices are now operating on a summer schedule. Summer business hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays through Aug. 16.

University offices will return to regular business hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 19.
