As many of you know, the SUNY Learning Network is a growing network of SUNY campuses that use a centrally provided technology infrastructure and training to deliver courses that are on line.  You can find out more about them at http://sln.suny.edu.   Below are the most recent enrollment numbers for this program.  What is interesting to note is the growth rate for this program has been over 30% per year since inception in 1995.

The Spring 2004 semester set a new SLN record with a total of 28,201 enrollments - our largest semester ever! This is an increase of 28% growth from our Spring 2003 enrollments of 21,993.   Many thanks to all of our hardworking campuses - both staff and faculty - and to the dedicated folks from ITEC and the Training Center as well as our own SLN staff.

In addition, annual SLN enrollments for the 2003-2004 Academic Year:
Fall 2003                24,651
