


Lack of time/no clerical support
Articulation is not a top priority at the moment/time and resources dedicated
to direct articulation with primary feeders
Broader participation would probably need system-level encouragement (UC)

provide?

More staffing and/or time (for the AO)

Step-by-step instructions with options for different levels
of participation in C-ID (independent campuses)
