Abstract | In order to assess the effects of various student charge options, the California Postsecondary Education Commission developed a computer model which can be applied to public higher education in California. Using this model, a simulation was conducted to predict the enrollment and revenue effects of a $50 annual fee increase at California community colleges. The simulation, based on Reagan administration proposals to reduce appropriations to the Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) program, utilized four assumptions: (1) a $50 annual registration fee for students enrolling for six hours or more per semester and a $30 registration fee for those enrolling for less than six hours; (2) additional state financial aid for BEOG-eligible students to cover the amount of fee increases; (3) state general fund declines of $1,275 per ADA (Average Daily Attendance) for enrollment losses; and (4) May 1981 proposals for BEOG program cuts. Projections from the simulation indicate that the community colleges would lose 31,041 students (i.e., 2.5% of all students) with a fee increase of this magnitude; that 26,086 of the students would be enrolled for less than six units and would not be eligible for student aid; that few low-income students enrolled for more than six units would fail to attend because of the registration fee, but that 15,208 low-income students enrolled for six units or less would probably not enroll.
