This report documents the results to date of reforms underway from California Community Colleges (CCC)--Strong Start to Finish, one of the six systems that make up the first phase of the Strong Start to Finish initiative, an initiative of Education Commission of the States. Beginning in May 2019, CCC-Strong Start to Finish was created as a partnership among the CCC Chancellor's Office and the Success Center at the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC). The Success Center was launched by the Foundation and CCC Chancellor's Office in 2014 to act as a hub to support efforts around the state to improve college completion. CCC-Strong Start to Finish encompasses 73 college districts and 115 public 2-year institutions. The broad aim of this effort is to expand the number and proportion of students who complete math and English gateway courses in their first year as a result of these ongoing changes to placement policies and remedial course design. This report describes the context of reform within the state, the current status of project activities, and some early insights coming out of the work.
