  1. Multiple Measures Project • California Community Colleges are required to use multiple measures Title 5 § 55502(i) clearly mandates that California community colleges should use multiple measures in their assessment and placement processes: “‘Multiple measures’ are a required component of a district’s assessment system and refer to the use of more than one assessment measure in order to assess the student” [emphasis added]. The requirement to use multiple measures is reiterated in Title 5 § 55522(a): “When using an English, mathematics, or ESL assessment test for placement, it must be used with one or more other measures to comprise multiple measures.”

  2. Additional Multiple Measures can include: • Interviews, • Attitude surveys, • High school or college transcripts, • Specialized certificates or licenses, • Education and employment histories, • Military training and experience’ and • Holistic scoring processes.

  3. SSSP Implications • Title 5 states that before a student is given their placement results, the initial assessment process must include the application of the Multiple Measures guidelines developed by the college.
