SB1440 Implementation

Overview of presentation Background Curricular component Admissions component The big picture An example Advising tool Questions & Discussion

Background

Background Presentation is representative of

the collective perspective of CCC Articulation Officers

Statistics represent broad averages and estimates based on available research

Background Components of a bachelor’s degree

GE + MP + M + GR At least 120 units

GE = General EducationMP = Major PrepM = MajorGR = Graduation Requirements

Background Most efficient path to degree:

GE + MP + M + GR 120 units70 units at CCC + 50 units at CSU

Background Observed in real world:

GE + MP + M + GR About 150 units

80 units at CCC + 70 units at CSU

Background Why is 150 units a problem?

30 more units than needed for most majors

Represents 1 year of coursework and associated costs

Background

GE + MP + M + GR About 150 unitsCauses cited in research

Exploration of various fields of study High unit majors (STEM disciplines) Erroneous information Barriers to transfer Varying curricular requirements

Background Varying requirements…

Each CSU may have its own unique major preparation requirements

Each CCC has its own set of courses 23 CSU campuses x 112 CCC

campuses = 2,576 different potential combinations for each major

Background Apparent intent of SB1440…

Students complete an associate degree consisting of transfer requirements accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major

Students get priority admission to their local CSU campus

Students get guaranteed admission somewhere in the CSU system

Curricular component

Curricular component Students complete an associate

degree consisting of transfer requirements accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major

Curricular component Students complete an AA-T/AS-T

accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major


What does accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major mean?

Curricular component “Accepted” might mean:

“Fulfills all major preparation requirements”



AA-T/AS-T would function for majors just like CSU GE or IGETC pattern functions for GE



AA-T/AS-T would function for majors just like CSU GE or IGETC pattern functions for GE

Viewed as a possiblefuture goal; not beingpursued at this time

Curricular component “Accepted” current usage:

“Resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer”



Might fulfill all major prep requirements



Might fulfill all major prep requirements Might fulfill some major prep

requirements



Might fulfill all major prep requirements Might fulfill some major prep

requirements Might fulfill no major prep requirements

Depends on:•AA-T/AS-T design•CSU major prep requirements•Student course selection

Determined by existingarticulation (or case-by-case evaluation after transfer)



“Accepted” means resulting inno more than 60 units aftertransfer

Curricular component “Every CSU campus offering a similar

major” might mean:

“Every CSU campus offering a major in this field”


major” might mean:

“Every CSU campus offering a major in this field”

The AA-T/AS-T would function as “approximate preparation” for all possible CSU destinations

CSU system is trying toimplement this


major” current usage:

“Every CSU campus that can ensure no more than 60 units after transfer”




Not necessarily all campuses with the major




Not necessarily all campuses with the major

Not necessarily all specializations within a major determined “similar”

CSU system is trying to“get to 60” for all campuses with the major

Curricular component Possible strategies to implement “…no

more than 60 units after transfer” Design ADTs to minimize coursework not

required at all/most CSUs Provide student course selection advice with

ADTs Accept AA-T/AS-T for a particular

specialization within a major Waive CSU graduation requirements Waive CSU major requirements

e.g. American Institutions

Probably case-by-casebasis after transferProbably case-by-casebasis after transfer



“Accepted” means resulting inno more than 60 units aftertransfer

“Every CSU campus…” meansevery campus that can do this

Admissions component

Admissions component New admission policy…

Students are considered “local” for admission purposes based on the CCC awarding the AA-T/AS-T

Students who have an AA-T/AS-T receive admission priority over those who do not

Admissions component Admission categories based on

CSU campus/program impaction and CCC student/degree characteristics

Admissions component Three kinds of impaction at CSU

1. No impaction All students admitted*

2. Impacted campus/nonimpacted program

All local students admitted* Nonlocal student must meet campus

impaction criteria

*Must meet CSU system minimum admission requirements

Determined by CSU CampusImpaction Information Chart

Admissions component Three kinds of impaction at CSU

3. Impacted program Local students must meet local program

impaction criteria Nonlocal students must meet nonlocal

program impaction criteria

May be different criteria for local vs. nonlocal

Determined by CSU UndergradImpacted Programs Matrix

Admissions component Admission categories based on

CSU campus/program impaction and CCC student/degree characteristics

Admissions component CCC student/degree

characteristics Local Admission Area student; No

AA-T/AS-T Nonlocal Admission Area student; No

The big picture

The big picture Which students are clearly

advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T?


advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T? Students seeking an associate degree

in addition to transfer preparation No local graduation requirements Designed to be a “stand alone” associate

degree


advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T? Students preparing broadly for more

than one CSU Designed to be “common preparation”

for most CSU campuses CSU is trying to accept for all campuses

that offer the major


advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T? Students attending a CCC that does

not have major prep articulation to their intended CSU

Students are assured they will have no more than 60 units after transfer, even if no articulation exists

The big picture Which students are clearly not

advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T?


advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T? Students transferring to a CSU

campus/major that has not accepted the AA-T/AS-T

No SB1440 benefits to the student


advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T? Students preparing for an unimpacted

campus/program No admissions benefit to AA-T/AS-T Articulated coursework already guaranteed

to meet major prep requirements No additional course requirements beyond

major prep

The big picture Harder decision when…

AA-T/AS-T accepted by CSU CCC has major preparation

articulation Student preparing for impacted

campus or program
