"The pilot worked like this: University officials and high schools in Riverside County pored over student course completion and grade data to identify every county high school senior who was eligible for admission to the 10 of 22 Cal State campuses chosen for the pilot. Then the students received a brochure in the mail last fall before the Nov. 30 submission deadline, plus digital correspondence, telling them they were provisionally admitted"
"college should be as seamless a transition from high school as it is for students finishing one grade and advancing to the next. It's entirely an invention of us, the gap between 12th grade and college. The same gap does not exist between elementary school and junior high or junior high and high school."
California State University launched a Riverside County pilot that identified eligible high school seniors by reviewing course completion and grades and targeted them for provisional admission to 10 of 22 Cal State campuses. Identified students received mailed brochures and digital notices before the Nov. 30 deadline informing them they were provisionally admitted if they applied to one or more Cal State campuses and maintained grades. Lawmakers passed Senate Bill 640 to expand the program statewide next fall and increase participating campuses to 16. The expansion aims to ease the transition between high school and college and steer students toward campuses facing enrollment declines. Cal State will provide implementation details in February.
