In this article, writing center administrators and staff at 3 UC campuses—UC Irvine, UCLA, and UC San Diego—discuss the challenges they are encountering and the possibilities that are emerging as they pursue their mission to serve all undergraduate student writers.  \nLike many other universities across the country, the University  \nof California (UC) is encountering an influx of international  \nstudents, which has led to rapidly changing demographics in the undergraduate student body, and academic support services have adapted to serve shifting student needs. Writing centers at UC campuses, in particular, have encountered a variety of challenges and opportunities as a result of the influx of international students. New pedagogical approaches, new tutor-training procedures, new personnel structures, new services, and new cross-campus collaborations have emerged as UC writing centers have begun to adjust to the changing student landscape.  \nBackground  \nIn 2007, UC Regents initiated a change in the policies governing admission of residents and nonresidents. This decision involved the following steps:  \nThe CATESOL Journal 27.2 • 2015 • 73  \n1. Separating enrollment targets for resident and nonresident undergraduates;  \n2. Setting a minimum per campus for tuition from nonresidents;  \n3. Dedicating state support to residents only.  \nAlthough an increase in enrollment of international students (who fulfilled a major share of nonresident tuition expectations) was expected, it did not occur immediately because of a variety offactors, including the need for increased outreach efforts and applicant TOEFL scores that were too low to satisfy UC admissions criteria. The surge finally hit several UC campuses in the fall of 2012, and the numbers continue to rise. Evidence of the rapid growth of international students throughout the system can be seen clearly through the example of UC Irvine (UCI), where the enrollment picture indicates an ongoing upsurge (see Table 1) .  \nTable 1  \nProjected Enrollment Growth of International Students  \nNew international students  \nFreshmen  \nTransfers All grad students Total  \nFall 2012  \n695  \n166  \n339  \n1,200  \nFall 2013  \n765  \n175  \n429  \n1,369  \nFall 2014  \n841  \n190  \n564  \n1,595  \nNote. From Levin (2014) .  \nAccording to UCI’s executive vice chancellor (Clark, 2012),  \nGoing forward from next year … we anticipate continued growth in total enrollment of international students at an annual rate of approximately 6-10%. Average growth in new undergraduates is projected to be 6-8%, or about 80 students [per year], mostly atthe freshman level.  \nSimilar growth has occurred at other UC campuses. At UC San Diego (UCSD), for example, 2012 saw a 78% increase in international-student freshman admissions, with further increases of 17% in 2013 and 20% in 2014. In the fall of 2013, there were approximately 770 incoming international freshmen at UCSD, as compared to 160 in the fall of 2010—an almost fivefold increase in just three years.  \n74 • The CATESOL Journal 27.2 • 2015  \nThe dramatic growth in the international student population has inevitably had a significant impact on classroom instruction and academic support services throughout the UC system. Data from the Academic English/ESL Program at UCI show how these numbers have been translating into increased enrollment in its classes. A 2013-2014 report to the University Committee on Preparatory Education notes that enrollment in Academic English (AE) classes quadrupled from 2011 to 2013 and has continued to rise: “undergraduate enrollment is expected to grow in [AY 2014/2015] by 541 students, or 30% over the pas","cbCailr6SoGmvkRf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailr6SoGmvkRf","pdf",570597,15,"English","# Background\n## Policy change and projected enrollment growth\n# Challenges and Opportunities\n## Impact on writing center clientele and services\n## Ethical concerns and resource reconsideration","[{\"question\":\"What policy change initiated in 2007 affected international student admission at UC?\",\"answer\":\"In 2007, UC Regents changed admission policies by separating enrollment targets for residents and nonresidents, setting a minimum tuition level for nonresident campuses, and dedicating state support to residents only.\"},{\"question\":\"How has the growth of international students affected UC writing center clientele?\",\"answer\":\"International students are overrepresented among writing center users.
