2. CSU Updates Positive Numbers
98,000 new undergraduates enrolled in fall 2011
96,000 degrees awarded in
Nearly 70% of all CSU students receive some form of financial assistance; over $3.1 Billion in financial aid was distributed to CSU students
Leadership Transitions
Since we last met…
Over 700,000 applications for admission submitted
Campuses keenly focusing on graduation with authentic access – admitting and enrolling the amount of students for whom we have resources
In spite of continued cuts to support from the State of California and subsequent fee increases, CSU still among the most affordable instructions in the nation. Despite a higher cost of living within CA, remains in the middle of comparable 4-year public institutions in terms of tuition.
More than 60% of students receive some type of financial aid. 1/3 of revenue from tuition becomes financial aid support for students.

4. Impact of the Budget
State support for the CSU has been cut by almost $1 billion or 35% over the past 18 months.
State resources are now equal to the fiscal year; CSU enrolls 90,000 more students.
For every $1 California invests in the CSU, the CSU returns $5.43.
Resources and enrollment capacity highly dependent on outcomes of November election.
$750M cut for in final CA budget.
Student tuition increases covers over only half of the cuts.

5. Impact on Student Enrollment
The CSU will continue to focus on authentic access for students
Enrollment management approaches and strategies vary by campus
Enrollment capacity and opportunities for new students will be impacted by the Proposition 30 on the November ballot
Authentic access = campuses/system admitting and enrolling the number of students for which we are funded; contrast to early 1990’s.
Campuses are using new approaches to registration, investing in academic advisement tools and taking comprehensive looks at academic offerings and resources.
The California State University is a 23 university system as opposed to one university with multiple campuses. Campuses respond differently depending on regional factors, enrollment capacity, student behavior and local mission.
Earlier this month, the CSU Board of Trustees approved a series of strategies directly tied to the outcome of Proposition 30. I encourage you to learn more about this proposition.

6. Admissions & Impaction
Major/Program Impaction
Most campuses have at least one impacted major/program
Campus Impaction (3 categories):
Admit using CSU eligibility
Campus impaction (freshman/transfer)
Impacted in all programs (all majors)
Nursing is impacted at each campus offering; however there are multiple routes to a BSN degree
1/3 of CSU campuses are admitting solely based on admissions eligibility
Campuses demonstrate annual need for impaction based on applications from CSU-eligible students and enrollment capacity.

7. Associate Degrees for Transfer
First students with AA-T/AS-T degrees enrolled in fall 2012 at CSU campuses
CSU identifies AA-T/AS-T degrees “similar” to CSU campus program/option
Revised application questions in CSU Mentor to provide more accurate data on AA-T/AS-T degrees
Enhancements to E-TranscriptCA now allow transmission of AA-T/AS-T degree information
