Funding by Segment for 2008-09
Higher Education Student Enrollment

Enrollment levels for the UC and the CSU are driven by projections of eligible students in accordance with the Master Plan for Higher Education and the segments anticipated growth levels consistent with, and largely dependant upon funding under the Higher Education Compact. Through the Compact period, enrollments are estimated to grow by 2.5 percent annually.

For the CCC, Chapter 631, Statutes of 2006 specifies a minimum level of enrollment growth to be calculated based upon the weighted change in adult population components from year to year, with adjustments for unemployment, and overcap workload experienced in transfer, basic skills and career technical education courses. While this calculation and prior formulas have guided the minimum level of growth funding, the Administration and Legislature have exercised discretion to provide more or less funding to respond to changing enrollment demands.

Assuming the workload budgeted growth for UC and CSU, the overall change in budgeted enrollment to be served in 2008-09 is 25,817 full-time equivalent students (FTES) for a total of 1,770,643 FTES (see Figure HED-06). Because the UC and CSU will have some discretion in meeting the proposed budget balancing reductions, it is unknown if their workload budget projections will materialize.
