California State University system expects many students to enroll at midyear

From The Los Angeles Times: More than 60,300 applications were submitted to the California State University system for the spring term, which begins today. Most are community college transfers; typically, between 15,000 and 20,000 of those enroll. The ability of these spring students to integrate into campus life can affect not only their grades but also whether they stay in school. So an increasing number of campuses are requiring that all students — whether entering in the fall or midyear — undergo an orientation.
