To ensure that it sets self-supported fees for extended education in accordance with state law and Executive Order 1054, CSU Long Beach should immediately take the following action: revise its methodology for calculating the direct allocations component of its fees for extended education programs and base the calculation on direct costs that can be readily assigned to the programs and indirect costs that have been identified in its approved cost allocation plan.

The College of Continuing and Professional Education has evaluated several models and developed a methodology for calculating direct allocations and a cost allocation plan that identifies and assigns indirect costs to the extended education programs.
Supporting Documentation:
