14. 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

15. 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

38. APPENDIX Impact estimation: Logic
Past data: of students who have completed GE, how have they distributed the 9 UD units?
& 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
