Section § 66751

Explanation

This law allows students enrolled in a California Community College, California State University, or University of California to take one class per term at a different system without needing to formally apply or pay extra fees, as long as space is available and both campuses agree. The student will also get the same instructional support as regular students in that class.

Any student enrolled in any campus of the California Community Colleges, the California State University, or the University of California who meets the requirements of Section 66752 may enroll without formal admission and, except as provided in Section 66753, payment of additional fees, in a maximum of one course per academic term at a campus of either of the other systems on a space available basis at the discretion of the appropriate campus authorities on both campuses. A student enrolled in a course pursuant to this chapter shall be provided access to necessary instructional support services at the host campus in the same manner as students regularly enrolled in the course.

Section § 66753

Explanation

This law requires the leaders of California's public college systems to create a process to verify if a student has met certain eligibility, residency, fee, financial aid, and health requirements at their home campus. If verified, this can enable easier cross-enrollment at other campuses within the system.

The campus where the student wants to enroll may ask for extra information and charge a fee to cover administrative costs, but this fee should not exceed the actual cost of processing. Students who register through this program won't have to go through the usual enrollment services.

(2)CA Education Code § 66753(a)(2) The host campus may require the applicant to submit additional information as needed. The host campus may charge participating students an administration fee, not to exceed an amount sufficient for the campus to recover the full amount of the administrative costs it incurs under this chapter.
(b)CA Education Code § 66753(b) A student enrolled pursuant to this chapter shall be exempt from participation in the matriculation services described in Article 1 (commencing with Section 78210) of Chapter 2 of Part 48.

Section § 66753.5

Explanation

This law explains that when a student enrolls in a course at another campus (called the host campus), that enrollment doesn't count in the host campus's student numbers or budget calculations. Instead, only the student's home campus gets to count the classes the student takes directly at the home campus in their enrollment numbers.

The enrollment of a student at a host campus pursuant to this chapter shall not be counted in the calculation of headcount or full-time equivalent student enrollment at the host campus. The home campus may count in the calculation of headcount or full-time equivalent student enrollment only those units for which the student is enrolled at the home campus.
