EDC § 68052 Effective Jan 1, 2023Div. 5 · Title 3 · Part 41 · Ch. 1 · Art. 4

Statute text

(a)It is the intent of the Legislature that California’s public institutions of higher education shall establish nonresident student tuition policies that are consistent with their resident student fee policies. Nonresident student tuition shall be determined by each of the public postsecondary segments through the adoption of a methodology that annually establishes the nonresident student tuition rate. It is further the intent of the Legislature that, while the public institutions are to be provided flexibility in establishing their nonresident tuition, under no circumstances shall the level of nonresident tuition plus required fees fall below the marginal cost of instruction for that segment.

(b)The following state policies regarding nonresident student tuition are hereby established:

(1)Unless otherwise prescribed by statute, an admission fee and rate of tuition fixed by each public postsecondary governing board shall be required of each nonresident student. Each public postsecondary education governing body shall develop its own methodology for establishing the nonresident tuition level and its annual adjustment level of nonresident student tuition, unless otherwise prescribed by statute.
