Public postsecondary education: admission of pupils who have earned associate of arts degrees while attending high school.

Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. A provision of the Donahoe Higher Education Act expresses the intent of the Legislature that specified categories of applicants be prioritized in a specified order for the purpose of enrollment planning and admission priority practice at the undergraduate resident student level for the California State University and the University of California. Provisions of the Donahoe Higher Education Act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the regents act, by resolution, to make them applicable. This bill would add the category of California residents who have earned associate of arts degrees while attending high school immediately above other California residents entering at the freshman and sophomore levels and immediately below qualified transfer students in the order of those prioritized categories.
