Abstract: In California, a key aspect of the developmental education reform advanced by Assembly Bill (AB) 705 and furthered by AB 1705 is the use of corequisite support for community college students. Corequisite courses offer academic assistance via a separate support course taken concurrently with transfer-level math or English courses. These courses are designed to help students who desire or need extra support to succeed in the English and math courses required by their program of study. This approach particularly seeks to boost completion rates in transfer-level English and math among students with a "low placement profile," based on their high school coursework and grade point average (GPA). This report details new findings from the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges' (The RP Group) Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) on corequisite support implementation and enrollment across the California Community Colleges since AB 705 implementation (2019-20 through 2023-24). It also looks at the impact of corequisite support on students' timely completion of transfer-level English and math--both compared to students starting in developmental education courses pre-AB 705 and to students enrolled in standalone courses without this support post-AB 705. It particularly explores whether students with a low placement profile are receiving the support they need to succeed in these required courses.
