| Abstract: | For years, the vast majority of California's community college students had to take remedial courses that slowed down or halted their academic progress. In 2019, Assembly Bill (AB) 705 removed many of these barriers, making it much easier for students to access and complete gateway transfer-level courses in English and math--a key early milestone for transferring to a four-year institution and earning a bachelor's degree. In this policy brief, the authors examine how student outcomes have changed in the years following this landmark legislation. |
