The Gainesville Sun reports 3,118 students were invited to sign up for the Pathways to Campus Enrollment program after their applications were rejected for regular admission.
Provost Joe Glover says he’s pleased with the results since the program was rolled out at the last minute. With proper time to market the program, he’s hoping for a better turnout next year.
