Efforts were made to advocate for inclusion of the data element of student enrollment from first day of a course through the census date in AB 1705; the final bill did not include this data element. ASCCC continues to advocate for this data.
Whereas, AB 1705 (Irwin, 2022, as of March 16, 2022) [1] would require that California community colleges create a Transfer Level Gateway Completion Dashboard by July 2023 that shall be updated annually and shall contain data on a statewide basis disaggregated by regional, district, and college levels, including drop out prior to census date counts in mathematics, English, and ESL English;
Whereas, The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office is assessing and evaluating AB 705 (Irwin, 2017) [2] or California Education Code section 78213 [3] compliance by using student enrollment data in transfer-level coursework but does not include all enrollment data in the evaluation and assessment; and
Whereas, AB 1705 (Irwin, 2022, as of March 16, 2022) [4] would require that colleges not only place but also enroll students in transfer-level courses with limited exceptions;
Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges work with system practitioners, partners, and stakeholders as well as the legislature to include the requirement in AB 1705 (Irwin, 2022) [5] that the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Transfer Level Gateway Completion Dashboard include a data element on student enrollment from the first day of each course through the census date for each college; and
Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges advocate for additional funding for colleges and districts to support expanding reporting requirements and development of appropriate data elements associated with a Transfer Level Gateway Completion Dashboard as described in AB1705 (Irwin, 2022).
