18 | theLAKER flcc by the numbers Service to a Community Finger Lakes Community College posted a total of 11,418 enrollments during the 2020-21 academic year throughout its four main programming areas. While the College may be best known for offering two-year degrees to high school graduates, thousands of students across the region take FLCC classes at their high schools under the Gemini, or concurrent enrollment, program. Gemini allows students to take college prerequisites and general education classes before entering college, potentially shortening their time to a degree. About 2,000 enroll in non-credit training programs for professional development or job-related certifications through the Workforce and Career Solutions Office. FLCC also works each year with hundreds of students seeking to learn English or get a high school diploma. For example, the accompanying chart includes workers from Wayne County who enrolled in a professional development seminar to prepare for the New York State notary public licensing exam as well as students who took a credit-bearing college class for at least one term. (FLCC offers classes during spring and fall semesters, a winter session, and three summer sessions.) These numbers may count some individuals twice, for example, if an adult basic education student earns a general equivalency diploma (GED) in the fall and starts FLCC college classes in the spring. Or a concurrent enrollment student who graduates high school then takes an online FLCC physics class over the summer to get ahead on college credit.
