SUNY Corning Community College officially kicked off its Fall 2025 semester this past Monday, welcoming students back to campus and online programs.
The College reports a 14% increase in overall enrollment compared to Fall 2024, including a 15% rise in new student registrations. The majority of students — 84% — come from the College’s three-county service region of Chemung, Steuben, and Schuyler.
College officials say the growth reflects continued interest in accessible, high-quality education and the region’s commitment to workforce development and academic opportunities.
The College also shared the following:
• The first cohort of SUNY Reconnect students began classes today. Reconnect covers a free degree for New Yorkers aged 25-55 with no prior college degree and enrolled in degree programs in high-demand fields. This program is also accepting applicants for the spring, and more information can be found here.
