Effective and Equitable Transfer Practices in the California Community Colleges. Position Paper. Adopted Fall 2020
Academic Senate for California Community Colleges
As the California Community Colleges system strives to meet the needs of students, one important part of its mission is transfer, as this goal is the one most identified by community college students. In order to address the needs and goals of so many students, community colleges throughout the state must provide resources that can guide students through the process. It is focused on removing barriers to a college education and providing a wide array of opportunities for underrepresented students throughout the state. The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office "Vision for Success" lists as one of its goals that the system will "Over five years, increase by 35% the number of California Community College students transferring annually to a UC or CSU." This goal is critical in order for California to meet demand of an educated workforce and close the equity gap created by systemic barriers. Equity in a transfer world involves removing barriers in transfer pathways, aligning curriculum across the California Community Colleges, the University of California, and California State University systems, and successfully supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds to achieve their goal of transfer.
