State universities deal with deadline requirements

Faced with a $312.9 million budget cut proposed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the California State University system had to move the fall deadlines for freshman applications to Feb. 1.

However, schools that have not met enrollment targets in recent years are being allowed to keep applications open until March 1, some schools have closed their application periods and others are using the Feb. 1 deadline.

California State University, Sacramento is one of the schools keeping enrollment open until March. Edward E. Mills, the school's associate vice president for student affairs, said Sacramento State shouldn't see too many changes in enrollment numbers.

"I currently have 95 percent of the applications ... we shouldn't see a negative impact," Mills said.

In the past, priority registration, which most high school students apply for, closed in November but students could still apply to some schools until the beginning of the fall semester.

San Joaquin Delta College, like other community colleges across the state, may face an influx in students due to the new deadlines said Greg Greenwood the interim director of public information.

"This won't help the CSUs or community colleges, but it especially won't help the students because all they're doing is ... diverting (them)," Greenwood said.

Local reactions

Corinne Casey

"Now that they've opened the deadline, (students) might be able to apply to a back-up school."
Corinne Casey, Tokay, 17

Anne Heberle

"If (students) didn't get in for early decision, they can still start over."
Anne Heberle, Tokay, 17

Andre Lomeli

"I've already applied and I've already been accepted ... a lot of procrastinators won't be able to get in (now)."
Andre Lomeli, Lodi, 17

Annel Pineda

"If they really wanted (to apply), they should have done it before. It will be beneficial because the real students who really wanted to learn will be there."
Annel Pineda, Lodi, 17

Donnell Zunigh

"I'm still gonna apply, but I'll probably go to Delta."
Donnell Zunigh, Lodi, 17

Despite the budget cuts, Delta will continue to accept any student that wants to apply.

"Delta is going to continue providing education for whoever wants one ... (and) the students that want to go to college, they're going to go to college," Greenwood said.
