Bill overview
This bill updates California’s transfer system for community college students seeking bachelor’s degrees at California State Universities (CSUs). It requires students earning an associate degree for transfer to complete the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CGTCC) instead of the previously used IGETC or CSU General Education-Breadth Requirements, starting in the fall 2025-26 academic year. The bill also streamlines the transfer process by renaming the Foster Care Education Program to the Foster and Kinship Care Education Program and refocusing its funding. Furthermore, it modifies existing requirements regarding community college summer sessions and clarifies articulation agreements between community colleges and CSUs to ensure a smoother pathway for transfer students.
