Enrollment Services: Application Processing
CSULB continues to be in high demand, with the largest number of applications for admission in the history of the campus. The majority of these applications is received in the first month of the application process in November and requires timely and immediate response. Last year, RPP recommended adoption of a funding model to support the staffing and operating expense requirements necessary for timely process of admission applications. That funding model was activated for the November 2000 filing period.

The 2001-02 RPP Task Force received a status report, which reaffirmed that the use of the funding model was a viable approach. In this same review, the study group also recommended correcting an unintended oversight in the original formula associated with the application processing services in Student Services and the College of Education. RPP concurred with the recommended one-time base adjustment of $105,000.

Enrollment Services will report to RPP annually on the anticipated growth of application volume and on the use of funds to support a timely admission process.
