专业及持续教育(PaCE)指引

Background

1971年,加州立法机关通过了继续教育收入基金(CERF)。 法案,该法案要求每个加州州立大学(CSU)校园创建扩展 education units provided by Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE) operations. On average, the 23 campuses process 300,000 PaCE enrollments each year. Units awarded through PaCE programs provide a way for the CSU to meet the education and training 个人和群体的需求,否则他们可能无法得到CSU的服务,并允许 campuses to operate on a self-support basis at times and locations not supported by the CSU Operating Fund.

PaCE provides a broad spectrum of services, including professional development and job training courses; certificate and degree programs; courses delivered online, off-campus, or at non-traditional times; courses for personal enrichment; and courses delivered between academic terms. Courses may provide academic credit or continuing education 单位,或者可以在非学分的基础上提供. PaCE有一定的限制 产品,包括产品不能取代常规国家支持的要求 课程设置,以及国家支持的入学学生不被要求 enroll in self-support courses in order to fulfill graduation requirements. Additionally, basic teacher credential programs are generally not allowed to be offered through PaCE.

副校长助理兼校长办公室主任(CO) provides overall oversight and administration for PaCE at the systemwide level. In addition, the Commission on the Extended University, established in 2002, advises the chancellor regarding the issues and opportunities facing PaCE programs at each of the campuses.

The California State Auditor (CSA) conducted an audit of PACE in the CSU system in 并于2013年12月发布最终报告. 因此,该条例进行了修订 与扩展教育有关的全系统政策,并颁布了行政命令(EO) 1099, Extended Education: Self-Supporting Instructional Courses and Programs. 

At 菠菜网lol正规平台, the primary coordination of self-support programs resides in the College 专业与全球教育(CPGE). CPGE为学术学院提供支持 随着专业教育和学位课程的发展,并担任 central area for reporting enrollment and financial statistics. The College oversees 开放大学,一个允许个人注册大学课程的项目 being admitted to the university on a space-available basis; summer session; and degree 证书课程. Some programs are offered online, while others require in-person attendance.

菠菜网lol正规平台有一个长期的PaCE收入分配模式,用于收回成本 为支持单位,如商务服务,招生服务和学术支持 services. Colleges and departments with self-support programs realize program revenues and expenses.

PaCE开支指引

在圣何塞州立大学,特别会议和自我支持教学项目代表 每年约占总课程入学人数的10%-11%. 教学的直接成本 和教学支持的PaCE项目发生在学术学院,并提供 设备通常在州立(常规会议)项目和特殊项目之间共享 session programs. However, the California Education Code, which contains many policies 具体到加州州立大学(CSU)系统,包括以下关于 PaCE funds: 

PaCE资金将用于“支持和发展自我支持教学” 加州州立大学的项目.” (Education Code §89704).

所有PaCE基金支出必须符合此政策. 菠菜网lol正规平台是由加州审计的 2013年担任州审计员,2020年担任CSU审计员. 两次审计都发现了PaCE基金支出 是否总是有适当的文件来显示两者之间清晰和适当的联系 the expenditure and the overall support and development of self-support programs. 使用PaCE资金的部门负责维护该文件.

Equally important is the recovery of costs borne by the CSU Operating Fund (funds 以“70”开头),实际上服务于PaCE项目:

CSU营运基金为所提供的服务、产品和设施所产生的费用 to other CSU funds (e.g., PaCE) and to Auxiliary Organizations are properly and consistently recovered with cash and/or a documented exchange of value. (CSU Exec Order 1000)
