Many multilingual, community college students face delays in achieving their educational goals because few ESL courses are transferable or degree applicable. To address this inequity, California Community Colleges are increasingly seeking transferability for academic ESL courses. Aiming to foster dialogue and collective efforts toward equity for multilingual students, the speaker will outline the process of submitting courses for Cal-GETC (California Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) approval, including the steps, content standards, and the challenges involved. By the end of the session, participants will gain tools to pursue transferable and degree-applicable credits for ESL courses. Q&A will be included.
