City College of San Francisco Impact of BA-Degree Holder Fee on Credit Enrollments. Institutional Development, Research and Planning Report.
Mery, Pamela M.
Effective spring 1993, California community colleges increased enrollment fees for students with baccalaureate degrees from $6 per unit to $50 per unit, with some exemptions for economically or physically disadvantaged students. Overall credit enrollments for California's community colleges declined an estimated 8.8% from fall 1992 to spring 1993. According to state figures, nearly 50% of students with bachelor's degrees (around 60,000 students) did not enroll in spring 1993 due to the increased fee. After the spring 1993 fee increase, City College of San Francisco (CCSF) enrolled 53% fewer bachelor's degree holders. Similarly, from fall 1992 to fall 1993, CCSF enrolled 53.27% fewer bachelor's degree holders. The schools of Liberal Arts, Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Business experienced the largest numeric and percentage decreases in bachelor's degree holders. The departments of Social Science, Foreign Languages, Behavioral Sciences, English, Art, Business, Computer Information and Science, and Biology had particularly sharp enrollment declines. A few vocational departments increased the percent of credit bachelor's degree holders from fall 1992 to fall 1993, but the actual numbers of students were low. In fall 1993, some departments enrolled a relatively high percentage of students with bachelor's degrees, with Foreign Language students most likely to pay the increased fee. Many students enrolled in job training courses met the requirements for exemption from the differential fee. (MAB)
