Why Participate in EAP?• Allows colleges to focus limited assessment funding on
students who may not be ready for college-level coursework
• Sends a strong college readiness message to CA’s high school juniors and seniors
• Access to high school student EAP data for outreach, placement, and research purposes
• For those students indicating an interest in attending college, partnering with high schools & CSU to help students prepare before they graduate could reduce need for basic skills coursework later

EAP OutcomesCal-PASS examined the relationship between EAP, English matriculation pathways, and student outcomes in the first university English course attempted at a CSU campus.
Highlights About 1 in 7 entering 1st yr students at the CSU campus exempt from
the EPT based upon their EAP score. Success rates in Expository Writing for EAP-exempt students were
high (93%) and were comparable to students determined college level English qualified based on the EPT test (92%).
EAP exempt students had the highest average (mean) grade points in Expository Writing.
