Statement from Dean Robert Bucker Regarding Summer Session 2009
The current economic crisis has severely impacted the California State University system and Cal State Northridge, forcing us to restrict the number of students we can enroll in Academic Year 2009/10, which begins with the summer 2009 semester. As the state economy worsened after the budget compromise was forged, the Chancellor’s office for the CSU alerted campuses to the possibility of additional budget shortfalls. Campuses were asked to employ a variety of strategies to meet but not exceed revised enrollment targets.
For this reason, MCCAMC summer enrollment was lowered prior to summer registration by canceling a number of classes to assist in meeting the College's reduced enrollment target. The College made this reduction in summer courses to preserve enrollment for the rest of the 2009/2010 academic year. However every effort is being made to accommodate graduating seniors who require six or less units to complete their degree during summer 2009.

*NOTE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES
Need summer courses? In order to help accommodate students who were hoping to take summer courses, the Department has compiled a list of courses offered this summer at local universities that can be substituted for courses in our department. Please see an advisor in the Department to determine the placement of any of these courses in your degree program.
