Under AB 540, a student who is without lawful immigration status may request an exemption from paying nonresident tuition if the student:
- Attended a California high school for 3 or more years or met AB 2000 requirements, and
- Graduated from a California high school or passed the GED or California High School Proficiency Exam
Students who qualify for AB 540 status must complete and submit a California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request (sometimes referred as an AB540 Affidavit) with additional required documents to the CSUSB Office of Admissions and Student Recruitment.
