Board reviews Vision 2030 transfer work plan: five activities to expand baccalaureate access, targeting rural and under‑served students
Summary
The chancellor’s office presented a Vision 2030 transfer work plan that includes five activities — a rural college transfer collaborative, an Inland Empire dual‑enrollment community of practice, expanded community college baccalaureate programs, systemwide rollout of Program Pathways Mapper, and a CSU auto‑matriculation pilot tied to the common‑
The Board of Governors received the chancellor’s office’s Vision 2030 transfer work plan, a multi‑pronged strategy designed to increase equitable baccalaureate attainment and transfer pathways. The plan centers five activities: a rural college transfer collaborative, a regional dual‑enrollment community of practice in the Inland Empire, expansion and targeted incentives for community college baccalaureate degrees, wider implementation of the Program Pathways Mapper (PPM), and a near‑real‑time auto‑matriculation pilot for ADT completers with the California State University.
Deputy Chancellor Rowena Tomanang and visiting executives outlined the goals and data strategies. The rural collaborative is intended to help colleges serving "university deserts" create cross‑college course sharing via the California Virtual Campus and partner with out‑of‑state and nonprofit universities where regional CSU/UC capacity is limited. Ginny May and Dean Aaron Larson emphasized workforce alignment for degrees in STEM, education and agriculture and better support for place‑bound students.
Program Pathways Mapper — a faculty‑led, guided‑pathways tool the presentation said is already in use by more than 78 colleges across three states — will be a central element to clarify semester‑by‑semester maps, reduce excess credits and make transfer requirements visible to students.
The board also heard about a pilot to use the common cloud data platform to share near‑real‑time ADT completion information with CSU, enabling campuses to reach out proactively to prospective transfers before stopouts occur. That pilot will start with the common cloud demonstration cohort of districts and colleges already feeding data into the platform.
Board members emphasized practical issues: tracking students who attend multiple colleges in a year, aligning quarter campuses to semester mapping, and ensuring students know about nearby CSU/UC options. Several trustees urged the chancellor’s office to develop metrics that distinguish system performance (for example, students who are "transfer‑ready") from external constraints, such as UC/CSU capacity.
Provenance: The work plan and presentations were delivered under Item 5.4 (Vision 2030 transfer work plan).
