3. Background

4. Presentation is representative of the collective perspective of CCC Articulation Officers Statistics represent broad averages and estimates based on available research

5. Background Components of a bachelor’s degree GE + MP + M + GR  At least 120 units GE = General Education MP = Major Prep M = Major GR = Graduation Requirements

6. Background Components of a bachelor’s degree GE + MP + M + GR  At least 120 units GE = General Education MP = Major Prep M = Major GR = Graduation Requirements

7. Background Most efficient path to degree: GE + MP + M + GR  120 units 70 units at CCC + 50 units at CSU

8. Background Observed in real world: GE + MP + M + GR  About 150 units 80 units at CCC + 70 units at CSU

9. Background Why is 150 units a problem? 30 more units than needed for most majors Represents 1 year of coursework and associated costs

10. Background GE + MP + M + GR  About 150 units Causes cited in research Exploration of various fields of study High unit majors (STEM disciplines) Erroneous information Barriers to transfer Varying curricular requirements

11. Background GE + MP + M + GR  About 150 units Causes cited in research Exploration of various fields of study High unit majors (STEM disciplines) Erroneous information Barriers to transfer Varying curricular requirements

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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 Already in place Already in place Already in place

16. Curricular component

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

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

19. Curricular component Students complete an AA-T/AS-T accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major

20. Curricular component What does accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major mean?

21. Curricular component What does accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major mean?

22. Curricular component “Accepted” might mean: “Fulfills all major preparation requirements”

23. 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

24. 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 Viewed as a possible future goal; not being pursued at this time

25. Curricular component “Accepted” current usage: “Resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer”

26. Curricular component “Accepted” current usage: “Resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer” Might fulfill all major prep requirements

27. Curricular component “Accepted” current usage: “Resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer” Might fulfill all major prep requirements Might fulfill some major prep requirements

28. Curricular component “Accepted” current usage: “Resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer” 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 existing articulation (or case-by-case evaluation after transfer)

29. Curricular component What does accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major mean? “Accepted” means resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer

30. Curricular component What does accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major mean?

31. Curricular component “Every CSU campus offering a similar major” might mean: “Every CSU campus offering a major in this field”

33. Curricular component “Every CSU campus offering a similar 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 to implement this

35. Curricular component “Every CSU campus offering a similar major” current usage: “Every CSU campus that can ensure no more than 60 units after transfer”

36. Curricular component “Every CSU campus offering a similar major” current usage: “Every CSU campus that can ensure no more than 60 units after transfer” Not necessarily all campuses with the major

37. Curricular component “Every CSU campus offering a similar 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 specializations within a major determined “similar” CSU system is trying to “get to 60” for all campuses with the major

38. 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-case basis after transfer

39. Curricular component What does accepted at every CSU campus offering a similar major mean? “Accepted” means resulting in no more than 60 units after transfer “Every CSU campus…” means every campus that can do this

40. Admissions component

41. 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

42. Admissions component Admission categories based on CSU campus/program impaction and CCC student/degree characteristics

43. Admissions component Admission categories based on CSU campus/program impaction and CCC student/degree characteristics

44. 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 Campus Impaction Information Chart

46. 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 Undergrad Impacted Programs Matrix

49. Admissions component Admission categories based on CSU campus/program impaction and CCC student/degree characteristics

50. Admissions component CCC student/degree characteristics Local Admission Area student; No AA- T/AS-T Nonlocal Admission Area student; No AA- T/AS-T This is the status quo (before SB1440) Determined by CSU Local Admission Area list

52. 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

53. 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

54. Admissions component New admission policy… Students are considered “local” for admission purposes based on the CCC awarding the AA-T/AS-T AA-T/AS-T* from Local Admission Area CCC AA-T/AS-T* from Nonlocal Admission Area CCC Students who have an AA-T/AS-T* receive admission priority over those who do not * AA-T/AS-T must be accepted at the CSU campus for the student’s intended bachelor’s degree program

55. Admissions component CCC student/degree characteristics Local Admission Area student; No AA-T/AS-T Nonlocal Admission Area student; No AA-T/AS-T

56. Admissions component CCC student/degree characteristics Local Admission Area student; No AA-T/AS-T Nonlocal Admission Area student; No AA-T/AS-T Local Admission Area student; AA-T/AS-T awarded from Local Admission Area CCC* Nonlocal Admission Area student; AA-T/AS-T awarded from Local Admission Area CCC* Local Admission Area student; AA-T/AS-T awarded from Nonlocal Admission Area CCC* Nonlocal Admission Area student; AA-T/AS-T awarded from Nonlocal Admission Area CCC* New categories added via SB1440 implementation Determined by CCCs listed on CSU Local Admission Area list (ignore other criteria)

57. Ignore “majority of courses” criterion… Becomes “AA-T/AS-T* awarded from any CCC in Orange County”

59. Admissions component CCC student/degree characteristics * AA-T/AS-T must be accepted at the CSU campus for the student’s intended bachelor’s degree program

61. 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

62. 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 0.2 “GPA bump” for campus impaction 0.1 “GPA bump” for program impaction Admission standard GPA bump

64. The big picture

65. Which students are clearly advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T?

66. The big picture Which students are clearly 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

67. The big picture Which students are clearly 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

68. The big picture Which students are clearly 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

70. The big picture Which students are clearly not advantaged by the AA-T/AS-T?

71. The big picture Which students are clearly not 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

72. The big picture Which students are clearly not 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

73. 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 Possible admissions advantages Possible admissions or curricular disadvantages 
