Signed by Governor Gavin Newsom

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to concur with House amendments and pass a bill that establishes a direct admission program for in-state high school graduates at participating institutions to be eligible for enrollment at a designated California State University.

Highlights:

• Establishes a direct admission program for in-state high school graduates at participating institutions to be eligible for enrollment at a designated California State University campus  (Sec. 1-3).

• Establishes the CSU Direct Admission Program under which a pupil graduating from a high school of a participating local educational agency is deemed eligible for enrollment into a designated California State University campus  (Sec. 1-3).

• Requires, upon the implementation of transcript-informed pupil accounts, the reporting available on the CaliforniaColleges.edu platform to be used to provide the data required to determine eligibility for the program, as specified  (Sec. 1-3).

• Requires the California College Guidance Initiative, on behalf of the California State University, to transmit a letter of direct admission to each identified eligible pupil that notifies the pupil that they have been directly admitted, as specified  (Sec. 1-3).

• Requires the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to establish, in collaboration with the Academic Senate of the California Community Colleges and the California State University, an intersegmental curriculum workgroup composed of community college and California State University faculty who teach in fields of study with high opportunity for social mobility for the purpose of creating no fewer than 5 TMCs that are not related to existing ADTs, as specified (Sec. 1-3).

• Extends the above-described dual admission program until the 2035–36 academic year, and would instead require a student to complete an ADT or another established course of study for transfer within 3 academic years at a California community college (Sec. 1-3).

• Requires the California Community Colleges to take certain actions to promote the program (Sec. 1-3).

• Specifies that the provisions of this bill shall become effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor (Sec. 4).
