Coastline College is honored to be recognized by The Campaign for College Opportunity as one of only twenty-one California Community Colleges and California State Universities named a 2025 Pathway Champion of Placement.
"California’s future depends on students being able to transfer and graduate. The Pathway Champions are uplifting students and strengthening California by creating seamless pathways to success. They are implementing placement reforms (AB 705 & 1705, Irwin) so more students succeed in transfer-level courses that count toward a degree, and strengthening the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) so students reach the CSU with junior standing and a clear path to a bachelor’s degree. Many of the Champions are also boldly addressing systemic barriers in transfer that block opportunity for historically underserved Black and Latinx students. Today, while 64% of California students attend a community college, only 19% of transfer-intending students do so after four years. For Latinx and Black students, the rates are just 16% and 13%, respectively. The Pathway Champions prove that these numbers can change and that, together, we can ensure more students achieve their college dreams."—The Campaign for College Opportunity
This distinction celebrates our commitment to advancing equity, removing systemic barriers, and opening doors for historically underserved students—particularly Black and Latinx students—so they can achieve their college dreams.
We are proud to stand alongside our fellow community colleges and CSU partners in this critical work. Together, we are ensuring more students can pursue their academic and career goals, transforming lives and communities across California.
