The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the Student Transfer Reform Act of 2010 (SB1440) on student success. For the purpose of this study, student success metrics were identified as time to degree conferral, unit accumulation, and transfer attainment. Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) were systematized as a result of the Student Transfer Reform Act of 2010 (SB 1440). The goal of this initiative is to streamline the transfer process, and ultimately increase the bachelor's degree completion rates via a guaranteed transfer, for California Community College (CCC) students. The Student Transfer Reform Act of 2010 (SB 1440) established an alignment between CCCs and California State University (CSU). This collaborative partnership allows students to earn priority admissions into a CSU and creates systemic changes via the unit limitations. Students who earn an ADT cannot be required to take more than 60 semester or 90 quarter units for completion at the CSU. Aggregate data from the CCC Chancellor's office were examined along with comprehensive data provided from two participating institutions. The two CCCs were identified based on the number of ADT degrees awarded and the compliance of Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) to ADT development as prescribed by California Education code 66746(b) (Ed Source, 2013).
