UC May Adopt Waitlist For Incoming Freshmen - The Daily Californian


UC May Adopt Waitlist For Incoming Freshmen - The Daily Californian:

"For the first time in history of the University of California, incoming freshmen may be waitlisted, said UC officials after Wednesday's meeting of the UC Board of Regents.

The waitlist is designed to give the university flexibility in deciding how many students to enroll for the 2010 school year. Enrollment figures may change due to the uncertainty of state funding.

The decision to increase enrollments is dependent on $53.4 million in the governor's proposed budget which would fund 5,121 out of around 14,000 currently unfunded enrollments.

Efforts to secure state funding for the University of California took center stage inside Wednesday's regents meeting held in San Francisco."
