California Education Code section 68075.6 grants an immediate nonresident tuition fee exemption to Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders and refugee students who settled in California upon entering the United States. This exemption is granted for one year from the date the student settled in California upon entering the United States.

This exemption applies to the following:

  • Iraqi citizens or nationals (and their spouses and children) who were employed by or on behalf of the U.S. government in Iraq 
  • Afghan and Iraqi translators (and their spouses and children) who worked directly with the U.S. armed forces 
  • Afghanistan nationals who were employed by or on behalf of the U.S. government or in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan 
  • Refugee students admitted to the United States under Section 1157 of Title 8 of the United States Code

Under a separate section (Education Code Section 76140), newly arrived immigrants, refugees and individuals who have been granted asylum in the United States – or applied for these immigration statuses – can take ESL credit courses for the lower fees charged to California residents, instead of the higher tuition paid by nonresidents. State law provides this exception only for individuals who settled in California after entering the United States and have lived in California for less than a year.
