California’s legislative and higher education leaders on Wednesday committed to increase the number of students who can transfer from the state’s community colleges to universities this year.
They made their remarks in an online forum organized by members of the state Assembly to explore what the Legislature could do to improve transfer rates. The forum was convened as part of an ongoing series of conversations convened by Assemblyman Marc Berman, who heads the Select Committee on the Master Plan for Higher Education in California.

Thousands of students each year aim to make the transition from California’s community colleges to one of the nine undergraduate campuses of the University of California, the 23 campuses of California State University or private universities each year. But many don’t make it.
