AB 928 text

May 6, 2024 updated Executive Order published.

April 2024 Chancellor’s Office circulates a draft Executive Order with a response date of April 22, 2024.

March 27, 2024 CSU Board of Trustees approves alignment of CSU GE Breadth with Cal-GETC. (These changes include a reduction of the CSU GE curriculum from 39 units to 34, eliminating 3 out of 9 units of Arts and Humanities and 3 out of 3 units of Lifelong Learning and Self-Development, while adding a 1-unit Physical and Biological Sciences laboratory requirement.)

March 11, 2024 CAB approves a statement in opposition to aligning CSU GE Breadth with Cal-GETC

February 2024 CAB approves a process framework for how Chico State might approach potential GE changes.

January 2024 Cal-GETC comes to CSU Board of Trustees, 1st read of formal policy proposal; CSU Chancellor's Office presents board w/ 2 options for Title V changes:

1. Changes are only for transfer students as per requirements of AB 928
2. Changes are for all CSU students, aligning CSU GE Breadth to Cal-GETC framework

Spring 2023 ICAS approves Cal-GETC

September 2022 ASCSU distributes request for feedback on ICAS Cal-GETC proposal on the following 3 positions:

1. Support the ICAS Cal-GETC proposal (June 2022),
2. Recommend specific changes that satisfy the requirements of AB 928, with rationale, or
3. Unable to come to a consensus

June 2022 Intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates (ICAS) makes recommendation for “singular lower division general education pathway” named “Cal-GETC” (California General Education Transfer Curriculum).

Spring 2022 ASCSU requests campuses indicate priorities & options for establishing singular GE transfer pathway.

October 2021 AB-928 signed into law, “Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act of 2021”
