The total enrollment of the college increased steadily from 1973 to 1981. In 1973, it enrolled 5409 students. In 1981, it enrolled 16118 students. In nine years, its total enrollment increased nearly three times.

The increase of total enrollment was a result of the increase of the enrollment of both the full-time and the part-time students.

The figure of part-time students in 1973 was 2653 and that in 1981 was general trend is that both types of enrollment increased in the nine years.

The increases in the two types of enrollment, however, were not at the same rate. From 1973 to 1981, the enrollment of part-time increased over four times; whereas that of the full-time increased only by 60%.
