7. UC Transfer Pathways - Pilot Pilot in Chemistry and Physics to guarantee admission to the UC System Students complete: UCTP major preparation and 20 units of specified general education Can be awarded a UCTP Associate Degree in Physics or Chemistry. If the student also earns a cumulative GPA of 3.5 in those course, they are guaranteed admission to the UC system

8. UC Transfer Pathways - Pilot Why Chemistry and Physics to start? ASCCC Concern about adequate preparation following TMC Unit concerns for majors that include significantly more units of lower division preparation UC Expand access to diversify the student body Expand access to first generation college students Legislative pressure regarding transfer students

9. UC Transfer Pathways - Pilot UCTP Associate Degree in Physics or Chemistry – Major’s Preparation Defined by the UC Faculty http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/transfer/preparation-paths/index.html Mapped to C-ID https://www.c-id.net/tmc

10. UC Transfer Pathways - Pilot UCTP Associate Degree in Physics or Chemistry – GE Requirement Area 1A Freshman Composition 3 units Area 1B Critical Thinking 3 units Area 3 Arts and Humanities 3 units Area 4 Social and Behavioral Sciences 3 units Area 5B Biological Sciences 4 units Area 6 Language other than English 4 units All courses must be accepted for inclusion in IGETC pattern

11. UC Transfer Pathways - Pilot • Guidance Memo is official for Physics and Chemistry and templates for curricular review are available • Local creation of a degree is encouraged for the 86 community colleges that offer the complement of required courses • Students who do not meet the GPA threshold may still be competitive and are encouraged to apply to UC

12. UC Transfer Pathways – Next Steps • Discussions continue between the Academic Senates, Chancellor’s Office and UC Office of the President • ADTs that already align with the UCTP are under review for how the UC system might determine how a guaranteed pathway can be created • Other disciplines that do not meet ADT requirements are under consideration: Computer Science, Engineering, Biology, Music (Performance track)

13. Credit for Prior Learning and the 7 DisciplinesA Strategy to Increase Equity and Completion

14. Current state of Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) in California • Regulation • Credit by Exam – Title 5 Section 55050 • Advanced Placement Exam – Title 5 Section 55052 • Legislation in 2018 • SB1071 • AB1786

15. CPL Initiative • Credit for prior learning (CPL): credit awarded for validated college-level skills and knowledge gained outside of a college classroom; strategy to grant students credit for what they already know and can do. • Cross-role, cross-segment Advisory Committee • Feedback from committee informed recommended actions: • Implement state-level policy changes • Integrate CPL into Guided Pathways • Guide local policy and practice changes • Collaborate with UC and CSU to ensure transfer of CPL • Operationalize CPL through pilots in fall 2019 • Provide resources for all stakeholders

16. CPL: A completion strategy Research indicates that students who earn CPL: • are roughly twice as likely to complete a degree than those who do not • accumulate more credits through coursework at the institution than their counterparts, which translates to increased enrollment for colleges • save an average of 6-10 months in time to degree compared to their non-CPL counterparts *Findings were true across ethnicity, gender, age, and socio-economic status

17. CPL: an equity strategy • Current students: • More than 800,000 currently enrolled students over age 25 • Potential students: • 6.8 million California workers age 25-54 with high school diploma or some college but no degree • 79% work 31 or more hours per week • More than half are people of color

18. Next Steps • Changes to Title 5 Section 55050 to create umbrella CPL policy, keeping Credit by Exam as one prior learning assessment strategy • CPL Pilots (seven disciplines) Administration of Justice Fire Science Automotive Technology Health Cyber Security Information Technology Business Administration and Management • Resources and PD – Vision Resource Center • MAP articulation platform at Norco College
