But the enrolment will include nearly 4,000 full-time first-year students, a near record.<\/p>\n<p>The overall enrolment figure includes full-time and part-time, graduates and undergraduates, and teacher education students.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the total numbers, there have also been other encouraging signs in this incoming class.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, an increasing percentage of confirmed first-year admits listed Brock as their first-choice preferred university.
