Momentum is building to bolster admission guarantees for community college students trying to transfer to the University of California.
A key lawmaker, Assemblymember Marc Berman , told EdSource that strong consideration should be given to creating a systemwide admissions guarantee for transfer students.
A spokesperson for the Campaign for College Opportunity criticized the report for the “lack of action” in its suggestions and for not mentioning a systemwide guarantee. To be eligible for transfer, students need to take either 60 semester-based units or 90 quarter-based units, including general education courses and classes specific to their major. But often, “students are taking extra courses to try to qualify for their major, depending on which institution they’re going to,” said Bill Scroggins, president of Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.
But while Pathways+ attempts to make the process clearer, students who participate in it are asked to complete one of the existing campus-level transfer admission guarantee programs. Hans Johnson, a senior fellow at PPIC’s Higher Education Center, called those transfer admission guarantee programs a step in the right direction, saying they provide clarity to students who know early in their college journey which campus and major to pursue. But he added that there are shortcomings.
