66202
. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the following
categories be followed, insofar as practicable in the following
numerical 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:
(1) Continuing undergraduate students in good standing.
(2) California Community College transfer students who have
successfully concluded a course of study in an approved transfer
agreement program.
(3) Other California Community College students who have met all
of the requirements for transfer.
As stated in legislative findings, the transfer function plays a
key role in meeting the state's goals of educational equity.
Therefore, the Board of Regents of the University of California and
the Board of Trustees of the California State University shall
declare as policy for this paragraph and paragraph (2) of this
subdivision that students who are eligible to transfer and who are
from historically underrepresented groups or economically
disadvantaged families shall be given preference, to the fullest
extent possible under state and federal law, statutes, and
regulations, in transfer admissions decisions, and shall design
policies in conformity with state and federal statutes and
regulations intended to facilitate their success in achieving
transfer.
(4) Other qualified transfer students.
(5) California residents entering at the freshman or sophomore
levels.
(b) It is further the intent of the Legislature that within each
of the preceding enrollment categories, the following groups of
applicants receive priority consideration in admissions practice in
the following order:
(1) Residents of California who are recently released veterans of
the armed forces of the United States.
(2) Transfers from California public community colleges.
(3) Applicants who have been previously enrolled at the campus to
which they are applying, provided they left this institution in good
standing.
(4) Applicants who have a degree or credential objective that is
not generally offered at other public institutions of higher learning
within California.
(5) Applicants for whom the distance involved in attending another
institution would create financial or other hardships.
(c) It is further the intent of the Legislature that those
veterans referred to in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) who were
enrolled in good standing at a campus of the University of California
or at one of the California State Universities prior to military
service receive priority over other veterans recently released from
military service.
