    Key Takeaways

    • Requires UC and CSU to align college admission standards with state education content standards by 2028.
    • Establishes an annual course certification process for high schools to meet college admission requirements.
    • Mandates consultation with the State Board of Education before changing college admission criteria.
    • Creates a streamlined approval process for duplicate high school courses across different schools.

    Summary

    Assembly Members Fong and Muratsuchi propose aligning University of California and California State University admissions criteria with state educational standards through amendments to California's Education Code governing postsecondary admissions requirements.

    The legislation requests that UC align its course certification criteria with content standards, frameworks, and model curricula adopted by the State Board of Education. For undergraduate admissions, both UC and CSU governing boards would develop standards based on state-approved academic content while consulting the State Board before implementing changes. The bill maintains existing requirements for developing fair, understandable admissions processes and considering students with uncontrollable course deficiencies.

    By January 2028, the measure would establish a new annual process for local educational agencies to submit high school courses for university certification. The legislation outlines procedures for evaluating duplicate courses between schools and developing guidelines for computer science courses that satisfy mathematics requirements. Under the proposed system, universities must notify schools by February 1 each year whether submitted courses meet certification standards, providing specific feedback when courses are not approved. The bill defines local educational agencies as school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools serving grades 9-12.
