Material Detail

In 2003, the CSU Board of Trustees adopted a bold and visionary graduation initiative with three parts: improving preparation to begin college, strengthening the transfer process, and helping enrolled students progress toward the degree. The CSU has made substantial progress on improving preparation for college through the Early Assessment Program (EAP). Similarly, a streamlining of the transfer process is well underway through the Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP) project. The final piece in this triad is Campus Actions to Facilitate Graduation (CAFG). During the 2005-06 academic year, CAFG efforts will focus on three major initiatives: • Written reports, submitted by the campuses, that summarize their progress in facilitating student achievement of the baccalaureate degree • Accreditation-style team visits to campuses, during which campus policies and outcomes pertaining to student achievement of the baccalaureate will be reviewed • Reports by campus presidents to the Board of Trustees, focusing on campus successes in facilitating student achievement of the baccalaureate degree The framework for the campus plans can be found at: http://www.calstate.edu/AcadAff/codedmemos/AA-2005-21.pdf
