The University of California Board of Regents approved a policy on nonresident undergraduate enrollment last week which will reserve more spots for California students at nine campuses. The first of its kind policy at UC schools will cap nonresident enrollment at 18 percent at five campuses where 15 percent or fewer of the undergraduates were out-of-state or international students fall 2016. Enrollment will be capped at 2017-18 levels at Berkeley, Irvine, Los Angeles and San Diego, where 19 percent or more of the undergrad population were from outside of California. Systemwide, almost 17 percent of undergraduates were not California residents. UCSD had almost 6,500 nonresident undergraduates according to fall 2016 enrollment numbers, almost a quarter of all undergrads. Almost 80 percent were international students, the largest population in the UC system. Since 2012, out-of-state and international students at UCSD have made up 12 percent or more of the undergrad population.

The newly adopted policy means the system will receive $18.5 million from the state to support the enrollment of an additional 2,500 California undergraduates. “Our new nonresident enrollment policy strikes the right balance between UC’s continued commitment to putting California students first and the significant benefits that out-of-state and international students provide the university,” said UC President Janet Napolitano.
