California to Speed Graduation, Offer Debt Cancellation at Community Colleges

SACRAMENTO Building on the administration’s roadmap with California community colleges and compacts with the University of California and California State University, Gov. Gavin Newsom Sept. 30 announced the signing of legislation to boost graduation and transfer rates and offer debt cancellation at community colleges.

The bills signed today will:

  • Ensure that students attending California community colleges enroll directly into transfer-level math and English courses, if their program requires it or they are seeking to transfer.
  • Expand supervised tutoring offered for foundational skills and transfer-level courses.
  • Offer debt cancellation to encourage students to re-enroll and enroll at community colleges, building on budget appropriations.
