AB 540 represents a considerable cost savings to qualified undocumented students and their families. For example, in 2009-2010, total average annual in-state fees for an undergraduate full-time student at the University of California are $9,285. This compares to $32,002 for non-resident students. At the California State University, undergraduate resident students pay $4,026 per year versus $11,160 for non-resident students. At the California Community Colleges, the annual resident fee is minimally $480, compared to $3,360 for non-residents.
