IMPLEMENTATION OF Assembly Bill 1899: Victims of Trafficking, Domestic Violence and other Serious Crimes
AB 1899, chaptered in September of 2012, provides for a non-resident enrollment fee exemption for “Victims of trafficking, domestic
violence and other serious crimes”. In addition, the legislation allows these students to apply for and, if eligible, receive financial aid
from programs administered by public postsecondary institutions or the state of California. Finally, the legislation provides that
enrollment fees shall be waived for these students who apply for and are eligible to receive Board of Governor enrollment fee waivers.
This FEE WAIVER application is for California residents, eligible AB 540 students, and eligible AB 1899 students, as determined by the
Admissions or Registrar’s Office. If you have not had your California residency or eligibility status determined by the Admissions or the
Registrar, please see one of those offices to obtain the valid determination. Fee waiver eligibility cannot be determined until your
status has been verified.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC PARTNER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACT
The California Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act extends rights, benefits, responsibilities and obligations to individuals
in domestic partnerships registered with the California Secretary of State under Section 297 of the Family Code. If you are in a
Registered Domestic Partnership (RDP), or legal same sex marriage, you will be treated as an Independent married student to
determine eligibility for this Enrollment Fee Waiver and will need to provide income and household information for your domestic
partner. If you are a dependent student and your parent is in a Registered Domestic Partnership, or legal same sex marriage, you will
be treated the same as a student with married parents and income and household information will be required for the parent’s domestic
partner.
Note: These provisions apply to state student financial aid ONLY, and not to federal student financial aid.
Are you or your parent in a Registered Domestic Partnership with the California Secretary of State under Section 297 of the Family
Code? (Answer “Yes” if you or your parent are separated from a Registered Domestic Partner but have NOT FILED a Notice of
Termination of Domestic Partnership with the California Secretary of State’s Office.)
Yes
No
If you answered “Yes” to the question above, treat the Registered Domestic Partner as a spouse. You are required to include
your domestic partner’s income and household information or your parent’s domestic partner’s income and household
information in Questions 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
