Know Your Rights: California Placement Legislation
Assembly Bill (AB) 705is California legislation that aims to increase student completion rates and close achievement gaps by requiring community colleges to consider high school coursework and GPA (multiple measures) as primary factors for student placement. It ensures that students are enrolled in transfer-level courses by default and provides tools for their success. AB 1705, signed into law in 2022, requires California Community Colleges to maximize the probability that students will enter and complete transfer-level coursework in English and mathematics within one year. AB 1705 builds on AB 705 by addressing inequitable implementation and supporting strong and equitable placement and completion outcomes.
