As many of you are already aware, the California State University system has been greatly affected by the mandatory budget cuts required by the Governor and the State Legislature. Even reductions in personnel, furlough days, and student fee increases could not prevent our having to reduce course offerings. CSU Stanislaus must respond to deep cuts for our campus including increasing some class sizes and merging sections for some courses. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to do otherwise, our budget cuts must also include the cancellation of a number of classes for fall semester 2009.

Please check the schedule of courses you enrolled in for fall semester 2009 immediately. You may find course cancellations have affected your schedule. Please check the class schedule for potential replacements, and enroll in those courses as soon as you can. For further information, please visit the Academic Advising Web site.

If you have questions about course substitutions, enrolling in other courses, or other scheduling issues, please see your advisor or department chair.

The campus deeply regrets the need to cut classes and the effect it will have on our students’ academic planning. Please know we are committed to reversing this trend as soon as we can.
