AB 705 Matriculation: Assessment • AB 705 requires community college districts to maximize the probability of students entering and completing transfer-level coursework in math and English within a one-year timeframe by using multiple measures to achieve this goal. The bill requires the use of high school performance information to determine a student’s readiness for transfer-level English and math. • The bill prohibits the colleges from requiring a student to enroll in remedial coursework unless the student is highly unlikely to succeed in transfer-level course.
