California Enacts Law to Ease Community College Transfer

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ... signed legislation that will ensure admission to the California State University System for students who earn a newly established transfer degree from one of the state's community colleges. SB 1440 requires each community college district to create an associate degree for transfer and guarantees admission to Cal State for any student who earns one of those degrees. A second measure, AB 2302, directs the University of California to develop a better transfer pathway to its campuses.  From Inside Higher Ed 9/30/10
