CCC Transfer Application Trends to UC -5.7% +56% over 5 years
Economic Challenges Affecting Transfer at the CCC • Over $800 million in cuts since 2008-09 • A reduction of over 60,000 course sections in three years • In 2010-11, 140,000 students could only get one class • Fewer counseling resources to guide • Results: • Students who can’t get their classes can’t transfer on time • Students who can’t transfer on time stay longer and take more units
Economic Challenges Affecting Transfer at the CSU • State support for the CSU has been cut by almost $1 billion or 35% over the past 18 months. • Student tuition increases cover over only ½ of cuts. • State resources are now equal to the 1996-1997 fiscal year; CSU enrolls 90,000 more students. • The CSU will continue to focus on authentic access for students • Enrollment management approaches and strategies vary by campus • Resources and enrollment capacity highly dependent on outcomes of November election.
Economic Challenges Affecting Transfer at the UC • UC sustained $750M in cuts for 2011-12 • Maintained our goals in the face of these cuts • Access – no reduction in new California enrollment • Affordability – currently no tuition increase • Quality – The University’s top priority • Strategies for dealing with budget cuts • Cost reductions/efficiencies • Tuition and fee increases • Non-resident enrollment
