	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 955, as introduced, Williams. Community colleges: intersession
extension programs.
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under

Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary
education in this state. Under existing law, community college
districts are established throughout the state and authorized to
maintain campuses and provide instruction to students.

college district to maintain an extension program offering credit
courses during summer and winter intersessions. The bill would
provide that an extension program established under the bill may
include any courses that are part of a course of study leading to a
certificate, degree, or transfer to an institution that awards
baccalaureate degrees.
