California State University Updates The California State University California State University Updates WACAC Share, Learn, Connect Spring 2019

Student Outcomes & Impact Over 481,200 students enrolled in fall 2018 Over 125,000 degrees awarded in 2017-2019 Over 105, 400 undergraduate degrees 121,335 new undergraduates enrolled 95% were California residents 94% of first-time freshmen came from a California high school 91% of new undergraduate transfers came from California community colleges CSU remains committed to serving California students; CA reinvesting in higher ed. First time in nearly a decade the state fully funded the 2015/16 CSU Support Budget Plan New funding permitting modest enrollment growth ~ about 12,000 more students systemwide in 2015-16 Both new funding and improved graduation rates will generate capacity About 88% of CSU students are undergraduates CSU achieving the milestone this year of 3 million living alumni New goals for increasing graduates and closing achievement gaps set for 2025

CSU Students Students self-identifying as Latino or another Hispanic background represent the largest percentage of enrollment by ethnicity. 19 CSU campuses designated at Hispanic-Serving Institutions 5 CSU campuses designated as Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions -- these designations include both % of enrolled students who self identify as these ethnicities AND % of students who receive financial aid Gender breakdown- Female- 57%; Male- 43 % Gender, ethnicity, income, and parental educational level are self-reported responses, not considered in admission, but provide a basis for reporting and accountability measures

For fall of 2019, we have preliminary numbers as applications are still in progress. To date we have seen a slight decrease in the fall 2019 applicants versus fall 2018.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY OFFERS OF ADMISSION (UNDUPLICATED) The Last 4 Fall Transfer Admissions Cycles CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY APPLICANTS (UNDUPLICATED) OFFERS OF ADMISSION (UNDUPLICATED) ADMIT RATE ENROLLMENT (UNDUPLICATED) YIELD RATE Fall 2016 106,883 83,190 77.8% 51,333 61.7% Fall 2017 107,575 82,603 76.8% 53,647 64.9% Fall 2018 113,561 86,243 75.9% 54,532 63.2% Fall 2019 112,293 *Preliminary We will probably continue to see a steady increase in applications due to the California Community Colleges (CCC) Associate in Art for Transfer and the Associate in Science for Transfer degrees and the increased emphasis on transfer.

Freshman Admission Eligibility No change to admissions eligibility High school graduation A-G completion Eligibility index Transfer Admission Eligibility 60 semester/90 quarter units 30 units of general education 4 basic skill courses (Area A & B4) Grades of “C” or higher 2.0 cumulative GPA in transferable college work In terms of admission eligibility, nothing has changed from the previous year. We continue to admit students based on current policy standards for both Freshman and Transfer students.

New Admission Policies Effective Fall 2019 Redirection Redirection has been expanded to include First-time Freshman & Upper Division Transfers Applicants that have not been admitted to any campus they applied Local Advantage – Impacted Programs Finite Admission advantage for applicants in the Local Admission Area to impacted programs The CSU Board of Trustees passed two new policies related to admission at their March 2018 board meeting that went into effect for fall 2019. These policies were required to be passed by May 2018 as directed in the 2017-2018 state budget act. The first policy is on the expansion of redirection. Effective for fall 2019 redirection will be expanded from just Associate Degree for Transfer applicants to include FTF and UDT applicants. Applicants that have not been accepted to any CSU campus that they applied will be contacted in April to determine their interest in having their application redirected to another CSU that has capacity to serve them. Applicants that are eligible will be asked for their first and second choice campus(es) and have their application redirected to the campuses they provided. Which campuses will be accepting redirected applications will be provided to applicants in April. The second policy is a Local Admission Priority. This policy will provide applicants that are in a campus local admission area a finite admission advantage over non-local applicants to impacted programs. You can find additional details on these policies from the presentation at the 2018 CSU Counselor Conferences. The PowerPoint is on the Calstate.edu website [CLICK]

Academic Preparation

Policy Changes Increase Preparation in High School More accurate assessment and placement Strengthen the Early Start Program Ensure all students begin in college- level, credit-earning General Education (GE) courses. Provide students with the support they need Expand math pathways

Policy Implementation Expanded multiple measures will place students in courses that satisfy CSU Written Communication (A2-English) and GE Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning (B4-Math) into one of four categories: Category I: Fulfilled the GE area A2-English or B4-Math requirement Category II: Ready for GE area A2-Englishor B4-Math course* Category III: Support Courses for GE area A2-English or B4-Math course* Category IV: Early Start and then Support Courses for GE area A2-English or B4-Math course or the first term of an applicable stretch course *There will be a bifurcation for math based on student’s major: STEM, Algebra Dependent vs Non- STEM, Statistics Dependent and Undecided for placement. Review slides and add: ??? IN addition, one of the significant operational activities for this implementation was the development of a delivered process to campuses which would automate much of the use of multiple measures that evaluates students’ test scores, high school coursework, weighted high school GPA, and/or weighted math GPA against academic preparation criteria and places them in one of four categories:   Prior to EO 1110, campuses ran the CMS Remediation process to determine placement. That process looked at EPT/ELM scores but also considered AP, SAT, ACT, EAP scores against Remediation requirements to place students. The existing Remediation process was leveraged for the Academic Preparation Placement modification, since test scores are still used as placement criteria, but, the process was adapted to meet EO1110 criteria and was updated to include evaluating high school coursework, weighted high school GPA, and weighted math GPA. This effectively eliminates remediation. [CLICK]

Academic Preparation: Student Support Supported Instruction Early Start Program (ESP) Fewer students required to participate Effective summer 2019, all ESP courses will be college credit- bearing Fee waivers for ESP and ability to complete program at other CSU campuses remain Supported Course Models Co-Requisite Stretch Other innovative models Opportunity for GE mathematics courses be more relevant to the student’s major

Academic Preparation Implementation Guide Continued use of traditional assessment measures for placement in GE English and math courses Placement determined by using traditional and new multiple measures, including: Test Scores (CAASPP/EAP, AP, SAT, ACT, IB, CLEP) High School Academic Performance High School Grade Point Average (GPA) High School Math GPA

Adapting Internal Systems Use test scores for placement into one of the four categories Will use HS coursework, HS GPA and Math GPA for placement into one of the four categories Will use students major - STEM, Algebra Dependent, Non- STEM, Statistics Dependent, and Undecided for placement Student data from the Cal State Apply application will be used

Academic Preparation: GPAs Calculating Math GPA Effective 2019 both Area C and G courses will be used Courses will be loaded from Cal State Apply application Will use 9th, 10th, and 11th grade courses Algebra 1/Geometry courses taken in middle school will be included in the calculation Calculating High School GPA Will use A-G coursework in 10th and 11th grades Campuses may use additional student data to place students in appropriate courses.
