Action Alerts
The Chancellor’s Office has made important progress by issuing a memo that allows flexibility in STEM preparatory pathways, responding to concerns about eliminating precalculus and trigonometry.

The new guidance ensures access to one or two-semester sequences prior to calculus for students without high school STEM preparation, promoting greater equity and access in STEM fields.
