Sure, I can certainly provide some suggestions for California colleges with higher acceptance rates. Each college on this list has an acceptance rate higher than 60%.

1. California State University, Bakersfield: With an acceptance rate of 87%, it has a strong commitment to accessibility and offers a wide array of undergraduate programs.

2. California State University, Dominguez Hills: Accepting about 89% of those who apply, this school is lauded for its commitment to service and community engagement.

3. California State University, Northridge: This university offers a great mix of academic programs with an acceptance rate of approximately 91%.

4. San Francisco State University: An acceptance rate nearing 94% makes this high-quality university accessible to many applicants.

5. California State University, Sacramento (Sac State): With a variety of programs and strong community ties, this university has an acceptance rate of 93%.

6. California State University, Fullerton (CSU Fullerton): This well-resourced and high-quality university has an acceptance rate of 67%.

Though these universities have higher acceptance rates, their academics are on par with many more selective schools. I would recommend thoroughly researching each school's curriculum and campus culture to see which one may be the best fit for you.
