Students struggle to enroll in COMD
Classes change for exec. order
New department working on spacing and faculty concerns.
Lower general education requirements may assist graduation timing.
NICHOLE TORRES Asst. News Editor
Students of the Cal State Fullerton Communication Sciences and Disorders (COMD) department have been sitting on the floor in overcrowded classes. Formed last semester, the new department’s struggle to handle certain situations has been amplified by the ease with which students can enroll in classes. “There’s not quite enough administrative positions (or) professors to teach all the classes that we need,” said communication disorders major Michelle Glasell. COMD department chair and professor HyeKyeung Seung said the CSUF program is the biggest in California with over 500 students enrolled as undergraduates. Because of this, classes students need to graduate are impacted and extremely crowded. SEE COMD

In a sit-down interview with the Daily Titan, Titan Dreamers Resource Center coordinator Henoc Preciado urgently emphasized the above dates as undocumented students come dangerously close to the Oct.5 deadline to renew their DACA statuses.
For DACA students, on time isn’t enough Regardless of the Oct. 5 deadline to submit renewal applications, some students’ renewals may not be reviewed in time. BRANDON PHO News Editor
Urgent phone calls and frantic legwork kept Titan Dreamers Resource Center coordinator Henoc Preciado nearly unavailable around the time he was due for a sit down with the Daily Titan, peeling rubber as he scrambled from one section of the center to the next and pausing the interview to take more calls. It was business as usual, given recent events.
When he finally settled back into his desk, Preciado said that not all student recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will be able to renew their status. “What’s really critical for us right now is ensuring that students who are able to renew their DACA (status) do so,” Preciado said. With current DACA
recipients given a mere month’s notice by the U.S. Department of Justice to renew their status by Oct. 5 and Preciado unsure of whether or not CSUF students will submit their forms on time, he and the TDRC have been scrambling to alert current recipients of their dwindling chances. Preciado coordinates what remains of the dream.
Zero hour Preciado cautions DACA recipients that while they have until the Oct. 5 deadline to submit their renewal applications to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, they likely have even less time.
“If something gets mailed on Oct. 5 to USCIS, there is always a chance it might not be received by that date,” Preciado said. “The earlier that folks are able to get it in, the better it is.” Preciado is unsure if the CSUF DACA recipient population in its entirety will be safe by the deadline. “I think it’s one thing to get support to fill out the application and a whole other to come up with $495 to pay the application fee,” Preciado said. “I think for a lot of our students, that is a lot of money and they were only given a month’s notice.” SEE DACA

CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White issued an executive order on Aug. 23 requiring all CSU campuses to implement a 48-unit minimum for general education effective fall 2018. Executive Order 1100 is to be implemented for the subsequent catalog years. “So students that come to Cal State Fullerton under the ‘18-’19 catalog will be the ones that are experiencing the revised GE,” said Interim Director of Undergraduate Studies Brent Foster, Ph.D. In the social sciences (area D), the new unit requirement for students will be 12 units. The current requirement is 15 units. With the order, major requirements and other required courses approved for general education credit will count toward both major and total general education units. However, classes will still only be worth three units. SEE GENERAL

Titans soccer sweeps opponents CSUF men’s and women’s soccer dominates weekend. YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA Sports Editor
It was a great day to be a Titan Sunday, as Cal State Fullerton men’s and women’s soccer lit up the scoreboards. It was evident in their play that the Titans were not expecting to add another loss to their records, as many of the players had striking performances over the weekend that shifted the statistical leaderboards for both teams. Men’s soccer was able to bounce back from its twogame losing streak, scoring more goals (3) in its match against the University of San Francisco than it had in its prior three games combined. The Titans now rank No. 3 overall in the Big West conference. Women’s soccer was also able to add three more goals to its total, securing the number one spot for most goals in the Big West. Red-shirt junior Samuel Goni had some standout performances in his first official season with the Titans. Goni transferred from Bethel University in Tennessee in 2016 but was unable to meet any teams on the field that year when he suffered
