The Campaign for College Opportunity is a California-based nonprofit that champions student-centered higher education policy transformation and the dismantling of inequitable systems to eliminate educational, income, and wealth inequities, and achieve racial equity and economic justice for the state's students.

The equitable placement and ADT reforms, according to the nonprofit, have been pivotal, as students are increasingly being supported to succeed in courses that count towards their transfer goals and are placed on an expedited, guaranteed path to a four-year degree, especially for Latinx and Black students, who face disproportionate obstacles in completing degrees.
