For California's community colleges, fall 2019 marked the deadline for implementing the state's historic developmental education legislation, Assembly Bill 705 (Irwin 2017). AB 705 drove transformative changes in community college math and English programs as colleges implemented research-based placement policies designed to maximize students' likelihood of completing transferable college-level courses in those disciplines. The result was a large increase in the proportion of students beginning in transfer-level coursework instead of developmental education. After the pandemic hit in the second semester of AB 705 implementation, throughput gains were maintained despite a 14-percentage point decline in community college enrollments. Despite the well-documented positive student outcomes associated with AB 705 reforms, it is one of several legislative mandates that some believe have had the unintended consequence of reducing California's community college enrollment. Any connection between AB 705 and enrollment is difficult to examine after fall 2019, given the enrollment declines driven by the pandemic. For this reason, this report analyzes enrollment in California's community colleges in the context of AB 705 with a focus on fall 2019, the AB 705 implementation deadline.
