Two Assembly Bills and the Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP): What They
Mean at Citrus College
At Citrus College, we follow California Assembly Bills 705 (Irwin), Assembly Bill
1705 (Irwin) and the Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) to help place students
into the right English and math courses. Instead of relying only on placement tests,
we use self-reported high school GPA and the last math course completed in high school
with a grade of "C-" or better.
We have also updated our English and math courses to give students the best chance of starting — and completing — transfer-level coursework within their first year. The questions below highlight what these changes look like at Citrus College and how AB 705, AB 1705 and MMAP are being put into action.
