The proposed pilot program is aimed at about 3,700 of the 10,000 California first-year UC applicants who did not meet the system’s first-year admission requirements.
The University of California, aiming to widen admission access for disadvantaged students, will give a second chance to thousands of rejected California high school applicants who had a qualifying 3.0 grade point average but failed to complete the required series of 15 college preparation courses.
The pilot program could help turn that trend around, said Abeeha Hussain, a UCLA fourth-year student who transferred from Palomar College in San Marcos. In some cases, California schools do not offer all the required courses, which includes four years of English, three years of math, two years of science, history and a language other than English, one year of visual or performing arts and a year of electives. Among 3,700 California high schools, only 1,867 offered the full 15-course complement last year, according to data presented at the meeting Wednesday.
UC was asked to set up the three-year program, which will launch in fall 2023, by the state Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom. The university system alreadybetween specific community colleges and UC campuses. But under the pilot program, UC will make the conditional offer soon after admission decisions are released in the spring to incentivize students who are otherwise rejected from their campuses of choice.
between the UC and California Community Colleges systems since 2018, presented to regents Wednesday, detailed several steps taken to open access and prepare more students to advance to a four-year university.
