Assembly Bill 540 (AB 540), enacted on October 12, 2001, allows undocumented students who meet specific criteria to pay in-state tuition at California public colleges and universities. To qualify, students must attend a California high school for three or more years, graduate or obtain an equivalent diploma, and be enrolled at an accredited California institution. This law does not grant legal residency or financial aid eligibility but aims to provide access to higher education for undocumented residents. Resources and support services are available for AB 540 students.
