Cross Enrollment (Killea)
- Cross Enrollment (Killea), also known as Senate Bill 1914 (California Education Code
Sections 66750 through 66756), lets undergraduate students enrolled in any California
community college, California State University or UC to enroll without formal admission
in one course for one term at another campus within those three systems. This happens
on a space-available basis and at the discretion of campus authorities. Please note: this program is not available during summer session.
At University of California campuses, the beginning of the third week of instruction has been designated as the date by which an instructor can determine when space is available to accommodate a student seeking to enroll on this basis. (Normally instructors in all segments permit students to attend classes until their final course registration has been certified.) Cross enrollment at another campus within the same system is excluded, as is enrollment in pre-collegiate courses. Students who seek to cross enroll under this program must have met all of the following requirements:
• Completed at least one term at their home campus as a matriculated student.
• Enrolled for a minimum of 6 units at their home campus for the current term.
• Earned a cumulative GPA of 2.00.
• Paid appropriate fees and any applicable tuition at their home campus for the current term.
• Completed appropriate academic preparation for the desired course, as
determined by the host campus, consistent with the standards applied to
regularly enrolled students.
• Have been classified as a California resident by their home campus.
Both schools must be participating in this program before a student can take a course at another institution for the $46 per unit cross enrollment fee. Additional information and cross enrollment application forms are available at the Office of the Registrar.
