UW River Falls Enrollment Gains




The number of first-year students attending the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is up 6.6% above last year, marking the second consecutive year that figure has grown.


Overall enrollment at UWRF also grew from last year, up 3.2% to 5,222 students, 160 more than last year, according to preliminary 10th-day census numbers.


New first-year students total 1,132, or 70 more than were enrolled at the start of the 2023-24 academic year. 


The total student growth over 2023-24 marks the first time in several years that overall enrollment increased, a sign that UWRF is making progress attracting students, said Laura King, vice chancellor for student affairs and strategic enrollment.  


The enrollment increase is attributable in part to the success of programs that allow non-degree-seeking students affordable access to classes for UWRF credit, primarily geared towards high schoolers taking college courses through the Dual Academic Credit Program (DACP) and similar options.


That figure now totals 679, 137 more than last year, a 25% increase.
