The upcoming Winter quarter is going to be an ABSOLUTE DISASTER in terms of enrollment. Heald Milpitas looks like it will have less than a 100 new students for the Winter Quarter.

51529 - Portland was gong to close down, but luckily we had a recession where they were able to get momentum in enrollments. This is a totally different situation
662: thanks for sharing your perspective.
The strategy appears to be to hold onto existing students at all costs. Pretty soon the only students are going to be the left-overs who are too dumb or indifferent to ever graduate, and even those students can't drop because the school makes it so difficult. How ironic that CCI is in trouble for ignoring regulatory requirements yet we keep writing our own rules, even in the face of a government mandated shut-down.
Heald Salinas is also straggling to keep and more students, it's a shame that we have such of big and empty biulding, we only get those so not qualified to attend but of course nobody cares to obey the rules and continue to give federal funds to those that are not going 2 pay it back and will be unable to place for a job. Can't wait to get out of this place but I gotta pay my bills.
Remember when Heald Portland was in the process of shutting down (2004-2006). Well, with new ownership, the campus was able to market and has since grown to a healthy size. Sure, we will have small starting classes in the next term or two, but history has shown our resiliency and campuses can bounce back. San Francisco was once down to just 300 students (2006?).
I'm 524, and I totally misread the original post. 100 new students. That's about a third of what it was two years ago, not a tenth.
519, there you go again capitalizing words, stating your opinion as a fact. I see you've been called out by other posters in other threads for similar posts.
That's about a tenth the size it was two years ago. I think it was around 600 when Corinthian bought Heald.
Right. The student enrollment is SO LOW that Heald gets taught out. NO WAY can a Heald campus survive with less than 500 students.
No internet advertising and no lead flow means no enrollments. Throw in terrible publicity, and the only possible outcome is a much smaller student body.
