AB 540 Information

Students may be granted an exemption from the nonresidential supplemental tuition by meeting AB 540 requirements. Please visit the University of California AB 540 website for more information.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

This information is subject to change.

Students who are DACA-approved should note that:

• Although approved DACA students may be eligible for a resident classification, current policy/procedure is to classify students as nonresidents with an AB540 exemption. Nonresident students with an AB540 exemption will be charged the same tuition rate as resident students.
• Students who wish to be classified as residents for tuition purposes must first contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships (OFAS) for counseling.
• After being counseled by a financial aid advisor, students who still wish to be classified as California residents may present their DACA information to the campus Residence Deputy for review.
