Matriculation steps must be completed by April 14, 2019 to be eligible for priority registration

Completing steps on time also allows for individual academic counseling prior to registering for classes

15. 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.
