Brock expecting a banner fall term

School officials say last week marked the deadline for Ontario secondary school students to accept their university admission offers and a good percentage of students have chosen Brock.

While the provincial average of first year confirmations is 1.9 percent, Brock has received a 6.5 percent increase in students who want to call the school home for the next few years.

Combined with applicants from Canada and around the world, the University is on pace to welcome more than 4,000 new students this fall, with total enrollment expected to be nearly 19,000 students.

Officials adding the University is planning for a mix of classes being offered in-person and online in September.
