University of California: California State University: transfer students.
- Requires CSU to set goals for community college transfer student representation across all programs by 2026.
- Mandates CSU to publicly report transfer student enrollment ratios on its website.
- Requests UC to identify programs needing increased capacity for transfer students.
- Sets a September 1, 2026 deadline for both university systems to implement changes.
Assembly Member Quirk-Silva's higher education proposal directs the California State University system to establish specific representation goals for community college transfer students across its academic programs by September 2026. The legislation requires CSU to develop metrics for transfer student representation at both system-wide and campus levels, while implementing formal processes to identify when individual campuses fall below these targets.
Under the measure, CSU must publicly report three key metrics on its website: the ratio of transfer students to total undergraduates system-wide, the same ratio for each campus, and the proportion of transfer students within individual academic disciplines and programs. These reporting requirements aim to provide transparency around transfer student enrollment patterns throughout the CSU system.
The bill also includes provisions regarding the University of California system, requesting - rather than requiring - UC to create a formal process for identifying academic programs where increased capacity for transfer students would be most valuable. The measure asks UC to prioritize these identified areas when planning future enrollment expansion, though these provisions remain advisory due to UC's constitutional autonomy.
