What if I need to submit an AB 540 Affidavit?

• If you qualify and need to file an AB 540 Affidavit, you must complete and submit the signed affidavit to the appropriate Residence Specialist, as specified below.
• Please file your AB 540 as soon as you apply to the campus. The affidavit cannot be processed without a copy of your California high school transcript.
• Three years of attendance at a California high school and graduation need to be verified. If you do not submit the AB 540 and/or it is not processed by the time you register for your classes, you will be charged non-resident tuition.
• You must also file the AB 540 before your California Dream Act Application can be processed by CSUSB's Financial Aid Office.
• Students applying for the fall term need to submit the AB 540 by February 15th. Not clearing your California residence, by submitting the proper documentation, can delay your admission and financial aid process. If you do not know what documents are required, please contact your CSUSB's Residence Specialist (see below).
• If you applied to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) your AB 540 needs to be processed before EOP can evaluate your application.
• If you are a graduate or transfer student who needs to file an AB 540, please remember to attach a copy of your high school transcript to prove eligibility.
