EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 68050-68052



68050.  A student classified as a nonresident shall be required,
except as otherwise provided in this part, to pay, in addition to
other fees required by the institution, nonresident tuition.



68051.  Unless otherwise provided by law, the governing board or
district governing board shall adopt rules and regulations relating
to the method of calculation of the amount of nonresident tuition,
the method of payment, and the method and amount of refund.




68052.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that California's
public institutions of higher education shall establish nonresident
student tuition policies that are consistent with their resident
student fee policies. Nonresident student tuition shall be determined
by each of the public postsecondary segments through the adoption of
a methodology that annually establishes the nonresident student
tuition rate. It is further the intent of the Legislature that, while
the public institutions are to be provided flexibility in
establishing their nonresident tuition, under no circumstances shall
the level of nonresident tuition plus required fees fall below the
marginal cost of instruction for that segment.
   (b) The following state policies regarding nonresident student
tuition are hereby established:
   (1) Unless otherwise prescribed by statute, an admission fee and
rate of tuition fixed by each public postsecondary governing board
shall be required of each nonresident student. Each public
postsecondary education governing body shall develop its own
methodology for establishing the nonresident tuition level and its
annual adjustment level of nonresident student tuition, unless
otherwise prescribed by statute.
   (2) As California's public postsecondary education segments
annually adjust the level of nonresident tuition they charge
out-of-state students, the nonresident tuition methodologies they
develop and use should take into consideration, at minimum, the
following two factors:
   (A) For the University of California and the California State
University, the total nonresident charges imposed by each of their
public comparison institutions, as identified by the California
Postsecondary Education Commission.
   (B) The full average cost of instruction of their segment.
   (3) It is the intent of the Legislature that under no
circumstances shall an institution's level of nonresident tuition
plus required student fees fall below the marginal cost of
instruction for that segment.
   (4) The University of California, the California State University,
the Hastings College of the Law, and the California Maritime Academy
should endeavor to ensure that increases in the level of nonresident
tuition are gradual, moderate, and predictable by providing
nonresident students with a minimum of a 10-month notice of tuition
increases.
   (c) No provision of this section shall be applicable to the
California Community Colleges.
   (d) In the event that state revenues and expenditures are
substantially imbalanced due to factors unforeseen by the Governor
and the Legislature, including, but not limited to, initiative
measures, natural disasters, or sudden deviations from expected
economic trends, the nonresident student tuition at the University of
California, the California State University, the Hastings College of
the Law, and the California Maritime Academy, shall not be subject
to this section.
