Colleges and universities were forced to close their physical facilities and deliver both instruction and support services online, and higher education enrollment across the country declined. The impacts of the pandemic on California’s colleges and universities varied, not only from system to system, but across campuses within each system. Amid a challenging environment, administrators, faculty, and staff worked to ensure students had access to resources, with some providing laptops and Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as basic-needs resources and supports. In the CSU system, following several years of rising enrollment, the number of undergraduates peaked in 2020 at 432,264 students. Enrollment then declined by about 10,000 students from fall 2020 to fall 2021, with a further decline of over 17,000 students in fall 2022, resulting in the CSU’s lowest total since 2014 at 404,820. Fall 2023 brought with it an additional decrease of roughly 2,500 students-indicating that the system is beginning to stabilize as the harshest impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has come and gone. Overall, the CSU has suffered a 6.5% decline from the system’s pre-pandemic total.  \nThis report summarizes data on recent changes in undergraduate enrollment in the California State University (CSU) . We find significant, but varying, enrollment challenges across campuses and student groups. We explore the response to enrollment challenges at campuses that have fared better in  \n2 Illuminating Innovations: Advancing Enrollment at California State University • The Campaign for College Opportunity • February 2024  \nundergraduate enrollment levels over the last few years, particularly for Latinx and Black student populations, finding that their efforts to maintain and grow their enrollment align with the CSU system’s priorities under Graduation Initiative 2025 (GI 2025) . We conclude by offering several recommendations to improve state and system policies to support undergraduate enrollment and maintain the benefits to the state of higher educational attainment.  \nEnrollment has declined by 6% at the CSU  \nUndergraduate enrollment in the CSU declined by over 6% overall between 2019 and 2023, with considerable variation by campus and by student group. The undergraduate student body can bethought of in three main groups—incoming first-time freshmen, incoming undergraduate transfer students, and continuing students. Within the CSU system, each of these groups has shown different enrollment patterns over the past few years. In 2018, CSU enrolled an all-time high of nearly 67,000 firsttime freshmen (FTF) . In fall 2020—the first full semester where enrollment decisions were made during the pandemic—the number of FTF decreased by over 4,000 from the prior year, with a further drop of over an additional 1,500 students for fall 2021. Numbers for fall 2022 and 2023 have been far more encouraging, with the system exceeding pre-pandemic levels for first-time freshman enrollment and reaching a new all-time high of 68,216.  \nA steady increase in California high school students graduating with the necessary course requirements to be eligible for the UC and CSU (known as the A-G requirements) is a key reason for this quick return to strong FTF enrollment numbers. Across the state, the number of college ready graduates has steadily increased over the last decade, with only a minor decline in 2020 that was reversed the very next year.  \nThe 2022 high school graduating class included about 12,000 more A-G graduates compared to 2019, resulting in a substantial increase in students eligible to enroll directly into the CSU.
