The California State Senate has passed SB 640, authored by Senator Christopher Cabaldon, which aims to automatically offer admission to California State University for all qualifying high school seniors. This initiative seeks to simplify college admission, mirroring Cabaldon's successful community college program in West Sacramento. Education professionals highlight the psychological impact of receiving an acceptance letter, which encourages students to pursue higher education. The bill also continues a successful pilot program from Riverside County aimed at increasing enrollment in under-enrolled campuses, responding to declining enrollment trends across various CSU campuses.
"The legislation also extends statewide a CSU pilot program that this year sent all qualified high school seniors in Riverside County an offer of admission to 10 campuses, most of which are under-enrolled."
"Education experts say receiving an acceptance letter is a powerful psychological prompt for a student to consider a four-year college, even if they didn't think it was possible."
