AB 1796 California Assembly · 2021-2022 Regular Session

Public postsecondary education: reenrollment.

Summary
Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, and the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in the 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, including applicants who have been previously enrolled at the campus to which they are applying, as specified. The act applies to the University of California only to the extent that the regents, by appropriate resolution, make it applicable. This bill would require the California State University, and request the University of California, to require each campus in their respective systems to grant students the right to reenroll in their baccalaureate degree program after withdrawing or stopping out, if the student was in good academic standing with the university.
