Early Assessment Program (EAP)

Beginning in 2014-15:

The grade 11 Smarter Balanced computer adaptive assessments for English language assessment and mathematics will replace the augmented California Star Tests that are used for EAP. A determination of college readiness is built into the new standards.

Transition to Common Core

• As your school courses change due to Common Core, they will be re-evaluated in light of their A-G fulfillment.

• We expect to see many more integrated math courses. In the transition years, students with various combinations of non-integrated and integrated math courses will be addressed by the CSU.

Financial Aid

• There was no tuition increase for the 2014-2015 academic year

• Just over 50% of CSU students pay no tuition and take out no loans for that tuition aid

• The “Middle Class Scholarship” for those with incomes under $150K has begun to roll out. It’s very tied to legislative appropriations and limited in this first year. Out years will see more funding and earlier awarding.
