Abstract	California's AB 705 required community colleges to implement changes that would maximize students' likelihood of starting and completing transfer-level (or degree-appropriate) coursework in English and math/quantitative reasoning within one year. Under the law, colleges must use high school information (e.g., GPA, coursework, and/or grades in specific math/English courses) as the primary criteria for placement recommendations. As a result, students gained access to transfer-level English and math courses on a scale difficult to imagine just a few years ago. In fall 2019, almost all students enrolled in college composition, and more than three in four students enrolled directly in transfer-level math. This report relies on longitudinal student-level data provided by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office to examine how AB 705 has continued to play out as of fall 2020. It builds on the report, "A New Era of Student Access at California's Community Colleges," (ED611549) and sheds light on how students were faring under the new placement structures and concurrent academic supports as of fall 2020.
