Students will be better informed of their options for appealing a denial of admission at a California State University Campus under legislation signed into law by the Governor today. AB 670, authored by Assembly Higher Education Chair Marty Block (AD -78), seeks to ensure that students have access to the CSU and are aware of their admissions policies.
"I am pleased to learn the Governor has signed AB 670 into law," said Assemblymember Block. "The uniform appeals process established in AB 670 goes a long way in ensuring that students have access to quality and affordable public higher education."
AB 670 requires each CSU campus to have clear and uniform appeals procedures for applicants who are denied admission to a campus. The uniform appeals procedures will include the following:
- The basis for appeal;
- A timeframe of 15 business days from the date of denial of admissions notification in which to appeal;
- A limit of one appeal per academic term;
- The contact information for the campus office to which an appeal is submitted, and;
- A time estimate for when the campus expects to issue a response to an appeal request.
This bill will also require the appeal information to be posted on each campus website.
Assemblymember Marty Block proudly represents the cities and communities of Bonita, Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, San Diego and Spring Valley.
