  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.” AB705

  3. 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. Shift in Policy, Shift in Practice

  4. “Highly Unlikely” definition for Statistics

  5. “Highly Unlikely” definition for BSTEM

  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 ChangesAB 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.

  9. Basic Math & Study Skills (Math 4) • Algebra & Arithmetic Skills (Math 20) These courses are: • Open access • Free to students • Students who complete Algebra & Arithmetic Skills will be prepared to succeed in Intermediate Algebra Non-credit basic skills math(English will be available in Fall 2019)
