This is a sample presentation I created for Irvine Valley College. The intention was to get prospective students up-to-speed on how California Assembly Bill 705 will affect the college admissions process, especially as it pertains to Math and English placement.

1. AB 705
What it means for you

2. What is
AB 705?
Assembly Bill 705 was signed
into law on October 13, 2017

3. Before AB 705
• Placement tests required
immediately upon college entrance
• Placement tests required no matter
how you did in high school
• Remedial (non-transfer,
preparatory) courses, could add an
additional year (or years) to your
plans to finish community college.

4. What AB 705 means for you
• No more
placement tests
• No student can be
denied entry into a
transfer-level Math or
English class

5. AB 705: What colleges will do
• Recommend English and Math placement based on
high school transcripts
• Provide support coursework for students to succeed in
transfer-level coursework
• Ensure students finish transfer-level English and math
within a year of starting that coursework
• Ensure ESL students can complete transfer-level
requirements within three years
