1. Maximizing Possibility
AB705 and Students Entering Community College

2. State law designed “to maximize the probability that the student will enter and complete transfer-level coursework in English and mathematics within a one-year timeframe by utilizing assessment measures that include high school performance.”

3. Shift in Policy, Shift in Practice
Previously, burden of proof was on students: test scores and/or high school transcripts were used to determine if students were highly likely to be successful in transfer-level courses. With AB 705, the burden of proof is on the colleges: Community colleges are prohibited from requiring students to take a prerequisite (remedial) course unless they are highly unlikely to succeed in a higher level course without it.

5. “Highly Unlikely” definition for BSTEM
High School Performance Metric BSTEM Mathematics
Recommended AB 705 Placement for BSTEM Mathematics
HSGPA > 3.4 or
HSGPA > 2.6 AND enrolled in HS Calculus course
Success rate = 75%
Transfer-Level BSTEM Mathematics
No additional academic or concurrent support required for students
HSGPA > 2.6 or Enrolled in HS Precalculus
Success rate = 53%
Additional academic and concurrent support recommended for students
HSGPA < 2.6 and no Precalculus
Success rate = 28%
Transfer-Level BSTAM Mathematics
Additional academic and concurrent support strongly recommended for students

6. Changes in LMC Placement
CA Community Colleges are no longer using placement tests. Placement is determined by multiple measures such as cumulative GPA , course completion, perceived confidence and career/academic goals collected by online assessment survey.
LMC has used multiple measures in math since 2016 and in English since 2017, but has also used Accuplacer placement tests.
As of Spring 2019 LMC will no longer use any math or English placement tests. Students will use the online assessment survey to determine what course would be appropriate for their needs. Submitting a transcript is still recommended.

7. Math Placement and Pathways Changes AB 705 Compliance
The LMC Math department has worked hard to create multiple math pathways based on common student majors, and to reduce barriers to transfer-level courses in those pathways.
There are now co-requisite + transfer-level courses in Statistics, Applied Calculus and Precalculus.
