PORTALES, N.M. (AP) - Eastern New Mexico University says its enrollment for a spring semester has broken a school record.

The Portales university announced Monday that student enrollment hit 5,084 students, surpassing the 5,000 mark for the first time in ENMU's history.

The spring's enrollment is an increase of 4.5 percent over the previous record for a spring enrollment, set last year with 4,864 students.

The school's spring enrollment includes 3,922 undergraduate and 1,162 graduate students.

ENMU president Steven Gamble said administrators were pleased with the enrollment numbers and attributed them to good retention programs and a sizable influx of new students.
