The remainder of campuses will be state supported for summer 2002. Prior to the upcoming summer session, there were four CSU state funded campuses. According to Norman, one of the reasons the state has decided to fund a summer session is because buildings cannot be made fast enough to meet the increasing number of students that wish to attain a higher education. So to deal with the rapid growth it would be desirable to be part of the first wave. The principal goal of Year Round Operations is to help students earn a degree within a reasonable time frame.
Accessibility is the second concern.
It is anticipated that year-round sessions will lessen the demand for more buildings. It is not a goal of the Year Round Operations to have three equal sessions. Keith Boyum,vice president of university extended education said that financial aid will be a great factor in the success of the year-round program. Because the cost has been set to match a traditional session, the Trustees office is not looking to further lower the price of summer school in the near future. Limited financial aid is available.
