Transfer students face new obstacles

An admissions lockout at California’s state universities may block City College students aspiring to transfer next fall.

CSU campuses rejected nearly all student admissions applications for spring 2010 because of budget cuts.

“It’s going to be tight,” said City College counselor and Transfer Center Director Richard Erlich. “CSU may not have admissions enrollment for spring 2011.”

Articles in the Sacramento Bee during the summer budget crisis reported the 23-college CSU system was implementing a plan to confront a $584 million budget reduction for 2009-10, involving two-day furloughs for employees and student fee increases. That plan, along with student fees 32 percent higher this year than last, is now in effect.

If CSU enrollment is closed again next spring, students will need to look at other options. Erlich said students should consider looking at other private and out-of-state colleges, as most of these options are comparable in cost.

Students accepted by CSUS in the fall 2010 semester will be upper-division transfers only, according to Erlich. These are students with 60 transferable units or more whom have also completed general education-breadth requirements for oral and written communication, critical thinking and math, with a grade-point average satisfactory to the school they are applying for.

The California Postsecondary Education Commission, a board which reports to the legislative and executive branches of the state government, researches and reviews the numbers of transfer students aspiring to study at CSU and UC campuses. The C-PEC State Budget Update for Aug. 21 stated some major changes in higher education funding.

Combined funding slashes for 2008-09 and 2009-10 now total $1 billion cut from UC, $1 billion from CSU and $812 million from community college Prop 98 funding, according to the C-PEC report.  The state is looking to student fee increases and federal government stimulus money to fill the enormous financing gap.  Other actions to be taken include loans and shifts involving special funds.

City College’s 2009-2011 Transfer Center Program Review stated transfer rates for CSU and UC campuses have been flat over the past 19 years, largely due to budget constraints by the state system. Transfers numbered 813 students in 1990, compared to 662 in 2008.

According to Erlich, City College transfers to CSU and other college systems generally range between 300-500 students a semester. That’s 300-500 qualified City College students turned away from transfer already, as further lockouts loom.  CSU schools on the quarter system, such as Bakersfield and Los Angeles, have stopped accepting admissions applications for the fall semester as well.

The CSU system offers step-by-step instruction for the application process at the CSUMentor Web site.

Elrich suggests students visit the transfer Web site by accessing the City College webpage and clicking “Transfer Center” on the drop-down menu.
