CURRENT CSUN GE PLAN EO 1100R FRAMEWORK Required in all proposed plans A: BASIC SKILLS 9 units A1 (speech): LD or UD A2 (writing)& A3 (critical thinking): LD A: BASIC SKILLS 9 units LD only Required in all proposed plans B: NATURAL SCIENCES & QUANTITATIVE REASONING 11 units, incl. 2 labs B: NATURAL SCIENCES & QUANTITATIVE REASONING 12 units (3 UD), incl. 1 lab Shift depends on plan C: ARTS & HUMANITIES 6 units (LD or UD) C: ARTS & HUMANITIES 6 units (LD/UD split depends on plan) Shift depends on plan D: SOCIAL SCIENCES 12 units (LD or UD) D: SOCIAL SCIENCES 12 units (LD/UD split depends on plan) Required in all proposed plans E: LIFELONG LEARNING 3 units (LD or UD) E: LIFELONG LEARNING 3 units (not included in UDGE) Shift depends on plan F: COMPARATIVE CULTURAL STUDIES 6 units (LD or UD) F: COMPARATIVE CULTURAL STUDIES 6 units (LD/UD split depends on plan)* *: with campus F exception

CURRENT CSUN GE PLAN EO 1100R FRAMEWORK 501-522% ⇧ in UD B (from LD B) B: NATURAL SCIENCES & QUANTITATIVE REASONING 11 units, incl. 2 labs B: NATURAL SCIENCES & QUANTITATIVE REASONING 12 units (3 UD), incl. 1 lab 501-522% ⇧ in UD B (from LD B) Current status: Most B units taken in LD (average < 1 unit in UD) Likely shift: From less than 1 unit to at least 3 units in UD E: LIFELONG LEARNING 3 units (not included in UDGE) E: LIFELONG LEARNING 3 units (LD or UD)

CURRENT CSUN GE PLAN EO 1100R FRAMEWORK up to 57-62% ⇩ in UD E B: NATURAL SCIENCES & QUANTITATIVE REASONING 11 units, incl. 2 labs B: NATURAL SCIENCES & QUANTITATIVE REASONING 12 units (3 UD), incl. 1 lab Current status: Most B units taken in LD (average < 1 unit in UD) Likely shift: From less than 1 unit to at least 3 units in UD E: LIFELONG LEARNING 3 units (LD or UD) E: LIFELONG LEARNING 3 units (not included in UDGE) up to 57-62% ⇩ in UD E (to LD E) Current status: Average > 3 units in UD FTF: avg total of > 8 units Likely shift: FTT: from more than 3 units to 0 units in UD (unless required in major) FTF: unclear since already > 3 total units

UPPER-DIVISION GE COMPARISON NOTES Minimal impact is expected prior to Fall 2021: Most new FTF will not start new upper-division GE until 60+ units (year 3+) FTT have catalog rights to year they started at community college Will start new GE plan in Fall 2021

UPPER-DIVISION GE COMPARISON NOTES Estimates presented here are for UPPER-DIVISION GE ONLY Enrollment shifts will be of two types: between lower- and upper-division in most sections, total required units remains the same, so a decrease in UD would result in an increase in LD in the same area (and vice versa) between areas in upper division depending on requirements in the chosen plan, enrollment may shift between areas NOTE: in most plans, the shifts will be a combination of the above

APPENDIX Impact estimation: Logic Past data: of students who have completed GE, how have they distributed the 9 UD units? 2016-17 & 2017-18 degree recipients 41 different combinations Estimation: Shift required to follow rules of proposed new plan Example: Current: 3 units C, 3 units E, 3 units F (most common pattern) Plan 2: 3 units B, 3 units C, 3 units F (i.e., add 3 units to B, subtract 3 units from E) Weight shift by proportion of students in that pattern Timeline: Weight by proportion of students in new plan vs. old plan
