Request endorsed by ICAS and communicated to CSU and UC administration.

Whereas, There is a continuing legislative focus on improving the transfer process through clarity of intersegmental articulation and improved coordination of transfer services;

Whereas, An increasing number of universities and colleges have in recent years reduced the availability of printed catalogs in favor of less costly CD or online versions;

Whereas, The Articulation Officers of all segments and the Transfer Center Directors at the California community colleges refer to university and college catalogs on a daily basis and often must compare more than one institution at a time, making it difficult and time consuming to work with CD or online versions of university or college catalogs, especially when consulting between the index and the body of multiple catalogs; and

Whereas, Paper copies of university and college catalogs are required tools for Articulation Officers and Transfer Center Directors to effectively and efficiently perform their jobs and meet their goal of making the transfer process more efficient and generally required to complete articulation agreements;

Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges request the California State University Chancellor and the University of California President urge their respective campuses to send at least three paper copies of their university catalogs to each of the 109 community colleges (one to the Articulation Officer, one to the Transfer Center Director, and one to the library);

Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges request that the California Community College Chancellor urge community college campuses to send at least two paper copies of their college catalog to each California State University and University of California campus; and

Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges request that the California Community College Chancellor and presidents of Independent Institutions encourage the exchange of at least one paper copy of their catalogs where applicable admissions agreements or student transfer interest are evident.MSC Disposition: Local Senates, UC and CSU Presidents, CCC Chancellor, ICAS
