IMPACT OF STATE-wide budget cutson THE CSU and UC SYSTEMS

Barriers to Transfer

88 - 92% of new MSJC students assess into a basic skills course of either English or Math

- Delays time into transferable coursework and transfer eligibility- Students need to take the assessment serious the first time they assess

Enrollment Management- CSU & UC: less impact on current transfer students directly. Directed at freshman

admissions for 2010-11 and 2011-2012 with 40,000 anticipated cuts

Impaction at CSU & UC- Service Area impaction: 12 of 23 CSU campuses are impacted

- MSJC & impaction: early intervention steps

Mid-Year Transfers - winter or spring- No longer available to transfer students!

Lower Division Transfers- A thing of the past!

Fees, Fees and more Fees!
