The California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) conducts policy research and analysis to support long-range planning and student success. The community college enrollment projection is the first in the "Ready or Not, Here They Come" series that will be developed over the next six months. Community college projections were derived first because the system is the largest in the state, and it accounts for about 75% of undergraduate demand in any given year. The complete series will update CPEC's statewide enrollment demand and institutional capacity reports published in 1995 and 2000. It is intended to support higher education long-range planning and assist the Governor and the Legislature during budgetary and policy deliberations. It will provide informed and valid projections of the demand for public undergraduate higher education over the next ten years and estimates of classroom lecture and laboratory capacity needed to maximize student success. Appendices include: (1) Mid-Range Enrollment Demand Forecast, Community College Participation per 1,000 Persons; and (2) Enrollment Demand Method. (Contains 3 figures.)
