Gov. Gavin Newsom has directed UCLA to guarantee admission for eligible transfer students but legislative analyst and UC faculty leaders question the plan's focus and feasibility.
with then-UC President Janet Napolitano to improve transfer guarantee paths — said he remains frustrated by the pace of progress.
Three-fourths of applicants from state community colleges are admitted to UC, more than half of those enrolled pay no tuition and 89% graduate — a rate slightly higher than those who start as first-year students and significantly higher than the 55% national average, according to UC data. One-third of UC undergraduates are transfer students.
Such transfer guarantees have traditionally been used to attract students to campuses with enough open seats. But UCLA has an abundance of applicants, said Jim Chalfant, chair of the UC Academic Senate’s special committee on transfer issues. “The campus does not show evidence of requiring special rules to promote better transfer access or outcomes,” the analysis said.The University of California plans to offer conditional admission to students who aren’t eligible as first-year applicants as long as they meet course and grade requirements at a community college.
Cal State admits all students who earn a two-year community college degree known as Associate Degree for Transfer and meet minimum GPA requirements. The university guarantees admission only to the system, however, not to specific campuses.most omit certain majors from the program due to the high number of applicants for limited seats. UC Davis, for instance, excludes its new major in data science.
But UC has indicated it doesn’t favor a “one-size-fits-all approach” across its campuses and with CSU.
