What is an AB 540 student?

Assembly Bill 540 is a California law that allows qualified students to pay in-state tuition at the state's institutions of higher education. AB 540 does not grant state or federal financial eligibility, and only provides an exemption to the requirements to pay non-resident tuition. To qualify as an AB 540 student, undocumented students must meet the following:

• Have attended a California high school for 3 years or more full academic years between grades 9 through 12 (they do not need to be consecutive years);
• Be (or will be) a graduate from a California high school or have attained a GED or received a passing mark on the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE);
• Register or be currently enrolled at an accredited institution of public higher education in California;
• File or plan to file an affidavit form as required by individual institutions, stating that he/she will apply for legal residency as soon as possible;
• Not hold a valid non-immigrant visa (F, J, H, L, A, E, etc.).

Please contact our Admissions Office to determine if you are AB 540 eligible.
