Student Success Act of 2012

New law will help students complete educational goals, bolster economy.

 

The student Success Act of 2012 will:

• Improve the assistance that students receive at the beginning of their educational experience by expanding existing student services resources to support orientation, assessment and educational planning.
• Provide all of the 112 California Community Colleges with a statewide system of common assessment once available.
• Require all colleges receiving student support service funds to post a student success scorecard to clearly communicate progress.
• Require students whose fees are waived because of their economic need to meet minimum academic standards.

The law will be phased-in over a reasonable period of time as funding allows.  The California Community College Board of Governors and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office have already begun work on implementing many of the recommendations of the Student Success Task Force.
