Existing law exempts a student, other than a person excluded from the term “immigrant,” from paying nonresident tuition at the California State University and the California Community Colleges if certain conditions are met including that the student has a total of 3 or more years of full-time attendance in certain California schools or attainment of equivalent credits earned while in those schools, or the student completes 3 or more years of full-time high school coursework in California and a total of 3 or more years of attendance in California elementary schools or California secondary schools. Existing law requires attendance in credit courses at a campus of the California Community Colleges counted toward meeting the 3-year requirement to not exceed 2 years of full-time attendance.
SB 1141 eliminates the requirement that attendance in credit courses at a campus of the California Community Colleges counted towards meeting the 3-year requirement not exceeding 2 years of full-time attendance.
(SB 1141 amends Section 68130.5 of the Education Code.)
