As part of the California Education Code, AB 540 allows certain students who have attended high school in California for 3 or more years and earned a high school diploma or its equivalent to be exempt from paying nonresident tuition at California public universities, including UC and CSU institutions.
Please note: AB540 eligibility and DACA are different. Students can apply for the Dream Act without DACA.
