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
