Jeannine Raymond, Director
of Institutional Research, Planning
and Assessment, said mat state¬
wide funding has been cut in.the
past few years and said the cuts
have affected enrollment
'Ifs [enrollment] been drop¬
ping since our funding has been
restricted," Raymond said.
Minerva Escobedo, director
of Student Services; said mere
were other reasons for the declin-
(ingenrollment
"There seems to be a lot of#
factors that have affected our en¬
rollment," she said.
"Fees have affected enroll-
ment," she said.
.Raymond also said that in¬
creasing fees are a factor for lower
enrollment. "Fees going up is a
disincentive," she said.
Also, students who pursue a
duplicate degree, or those who
return for a second undergradu¬
ate degree after they've-already
received a bachelor's degree, how
have to pay a higher fee.
''The duplicate degree tuition
has hurt us," Escobedo said.
An improved economy is also
another reason for lower enroll¬
ment, figures, according to a Col¬
lege Press Service story.
Raymond said, "If the
economy is better, and ifs easier
[for students] to work, rhtn we
may lose some studentst"
More available options for
students havealsobeenafactor in
decreasing enrollment
Raymond said that in the past,
students had few options regard¬
ing where they went to school
Now, she said, students can
choose to go to a community col¬
lege and transfer to a school out¬
side of the Valley, choose to go to
a private university or choose to
leave the state altogether.
The increased options that
students have will cause a num¬
ber of students not to come to
CSUF, she said.
PubUdtyhasalsohurtenroll-
ment, according to Joseph
Marshall, associate vice president
otEnrollment Services. •
"The press has exaggerated
course availability," he said..

Courses are available, he said, but
"thaf s not a blanket statement or
a guarantee"
Tina Beddall, registrar,.also
said that more classes were avail¬
able and student registration has
been successful so far.
. "They [academic depart-.
ma its] are offering more sections
of classes than they have in the
past," she said. ''Things seem to
be better.*''
Most students were able to
get their classes, Marshall said.
He said more than 80 percent of
students were able to get the
courses they waflt
Beddall said that between
2,000 artd 3,000 students success¬
fully registered for classes each
day during STAR registration.
"By the4hird day of STAR,"
she said, "we had half the stu¬
dents registered."   '    -
Marshall said that most cam¬
puses haven't "blbwn'their own
•horns." He said that'individual
campuses can and should' talk
about what they do well
An emphasis on recruiting
and retention can help to level out
enrollment,    according    to
Escobedo.
"We're definitely putting on
an emphasis on outreach and re¬
cruiting," she said. "Sneak Pre¬
view Day was a good example"
Sneak Preview Day, which
was held Jan 21, was the first
eventpf its kind for CSUF. Sneak
Preview Day attracted 800 poten¬
tial new students and their par¬
ents on a Saturday afternoon to
showcase the university.
Plans are in the making for
two Sneak Preview Day sessions
for the next academic year.
