Cost Savings Reports
Each semester CAL$ asks faculty to report on their efforts to save students money, including cost savings from:
- New zero- and low-cost course materials adoptions
- Repeated zero- and low-cost adoptions
The CAL$ Coordinator reports this data to the Chancellor’s Office to demonstrate our faculty’s commitment and efforts to save students money. Please email the CAL$ Coordinator to be included on these semester reports.
These savings also aim to meet the 2022 Multi-Year CSU Compact (PDF) where Governor Newsom tasked the CSU to save students $150 Million by cutting course materials costs by 2025. Chico’s portion of that goal is approximately $5 million.
