Section 66801 Of Chapter 10. Interstate Attendance Agreements From California Education Code >> Division 5. >> Title 3. >> Part 40. >> Chapter 10.
66801
. (a) The Board of Governors of the California Community
Colleges is authorized to enter into an interstate attendance
agreement with any statewide public agency of another state that is
responsible for public institutions of postsecondary education
providing the first two years of college instruction and that is an
agency of a state that is a party to the Western Interstate Compact
for Higher Education, for the exchange of residents, on a one-for-one
basis, for the purposes of instruction.
(b) (1) As an alternative to the procedure established in
subdivision (a), the board of governors may authorize the governing
board of a community college district to enter into an interstate
attendance agreement directly with the governing body of a public
institution of postsecondary education providing the first two years
of college instruction if the state in which the public institution
is situated borders California, is a party to the Western Interstate
Compact for Higher Education and the state is not represented by a
statewide public agency that is responsible for public institutions
of postsecondary education providing the first two years of college
instruction.
(2) Each agreement entered into under this subdivision shall
satisfy the requirements of subdivision (a), and shall become
effective once fully executed and approved by the governing board of
each participating district. There shall be no need to file a
resolution as described in Section 66802 or for any further action by
the board of governors. An interstate attendance agreement entered
into under this subdivision may be effective on or after July 1,
2003.
(c) The agreement shall contain terms as the board of governors
may adopt and that are consistent with the authority and
responsibility of California community college districts and the
community colleges they maintain. In no event shall an agreement
permit or require the entry of California residents into institutions
in another state on terms substantially different from those
governing the admission of residents of the other state to California
community colleges. These agreements shall contain the provision
that no additional state funds shall be required to carry out the
provisions of this chapter.
