2. Student Outcomes & Impact
Over 481,200 students enrolled in fall 2018
Over 125,000 degrees awarded in
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
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

3. 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

The first column shows the record number of unduplicated applicants, and the last column shows the percentage yield rate, meaning the percent of applicants that accepted our offers of admission and consequently enrolled.
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.

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.

6. 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.

7. 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 These policies were required to be passed by May 2018 as directed in the 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

9. Academic Preparation

10. 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

11. 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.

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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.

16. Academic Preparation Resources
Academic Prep brochures were shipped to all school in Jan-Feb. Additional supplies may be obtained by contacting their local EAP Coordinator.
