need to catch up or brush up on the basics in order to succeed with college-level
work.
Located in Sacramento, the Chancellor's Office is the administrative branch
of the California Community College system. This state agency provides
leadership and technical assistance to the 108 community colleges and

allocating state funding to the colleges and districts.
The Chancellor's Office operates under the guidance of the Board of Governors,
which sets policy and provides long-range planning and guidance to the
