The CFP presents proposed capital projects, public private partnerships, and acquisition of real property that support these plans. The 2019-25 CFP represents $52 billion of capital need as articulated by the campuses and medical centers over this year and the next five fiscal years (through 2024-25).

  • ACTION ITEM for Meeting of March 13, 2019 A
    F1 Office of the President TO MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE AND CAPITAL STRATEGIES COMMITTEE: ACTION ITEM For Meeting of March 13, 2019 APPROVAL OF LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT #2 AND DESIGN FOLLOWING ACTION PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, STUDENT HOUSING WEST PROJECT, SANTA CRUZ CAMPUS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the January 2019 Regents meeting, the Santa Cruz campus presented a discussion item for the Student Housing West project (Project). The Project will address unmet demand for on-campus housing by current UC Santa Cruz students, reduce density in existing on-campus housing to provide more appropriate student living spaces, and replace obsolete student family housing that is not a viable candidate for renovation. The Project will also help the campus meet the requirements of the 2008 Comprehensive Settlement Agreement with the City and County of Santa Cruz and nine citizens (Comprehensive Settlement Agreement) and be able to enroll 19,500 students in accordance with the 2005 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The Project will include construction of housing for approximately 3,000 students at two sites on the UC Santa Cruz main campus via a public-private partnership delivery method in which the Project sites will be ground leased to Collegiate Housing Foundation, a non-profit limited liability corporation or its affiliated designee (CHF), and developed by a private student housing developer under a contract with CHF. The Project involves demolition of the existing 200-unit family student housing complex and childcare center located west of Heller Drive (Heller site) and redevelopment of the site with approximately 2,900 new apartment and community living-style beds for continuing upper division undergraduate and graduate students.

  • April 10, 2019 to Whom It May Concern, RE: College Core
    OFFICE OF THE VICE PROVOST AND Chancellor’s Office, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064 DEAN OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION Phone (831) 459-1993 | FAX (831) 459-2760 April 10, 2019 To Whom It May Concern, RE: College Core Courses This letter certifies that the College Core Courses at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) fulfill a portion of UCSC’s Academic Literacy Curriculum. All first-year students at UCSC are required to enroll in the Core Course of their assigned residential college. College Core Courses are designated by abbreviations of the college’s name and the number 1 (e.g., COWL 1, KRSG 1, MERR 1). College 1 is the first step in UC Santa Cruz's Academic Literacy Curriculum (ALC), which is comprised of College 1 followed by one or two Writing Program classes (WRIT 1 or WRIT 2). College 1 focuses on university-level critical reading and critical thinking, among other topics. Writing 1 and Writing 2 focus on university level writing, including genre awareness and analytical writing (WRIT 1) and research-based writing and information literacy (WRIT 2). Students who matriculate at UCSC having already satisfied the Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR), and who pass College 1 with a grade of C or better, are eligible to take Writing 2, the final course in the ALC. Students who matriculate at UCSC without having satisfied the ELWR take both Writing 1 and Writing 2 after having passed College 1. All courses must be passed with a grade of C or better to advance. Writing 2 at UC Santa Cruz is articulated to English 1B courses at many community colleges; UCSC students may opt to take the equivalent of Writing 2 at another institution.
