Statewide rules and federal data

These fields come from statewide sources, not the campus site: VA's GI Bill Comparison Tool data and the California Education Code, each verified 2026-08-27.

Yellow Ribbon (VA data)

No Yellow Ribbon agreement for this campus appears in VA's GI Bill Comparison Tool data (version 1496, published 2026-08-27; retrieved 2026-08-27). Context: at public campuses the Post-9/11 GI Bill pays the actual net in-state tuition and mandatory fees for covered individuals, so most California public campuses have no charges a Yellow Ribbon agreement would cover.Source: VA GI Bill Comparison Tool data, Yellow Ribbon program agreements (GIDS data version 1496, published 2026-08-27)

Priority registration

Required by statute. California Education Code section 66025.8 requires the California State University, at every campus that runs a priority enrollment system, to grant priority registration to California-resident members and former members of the US Armed Forces (honorable, general, or other than honorable discharge) and of the State Guard, for four academic years of use within 15 years of leaving state or federal active duty. Dishonorable and bad-conduct discharges are excluded, the campus must verify military or veteran status first, and students must meet the orientation and education-plan requirements of section 78212. How this campus implements priority registration (registration dates, verification steps) is not yet reviewed under the audit protocol.Source: California Education Code section 66025.8 (amended by AB 1715, Stats. 2022, Ch. 379, effective January 1, 2023)

Published certification timing

No published certification timing statement located on the audited veterans page (automated text scan, 2026-08-27). Automated text scan of each audited veterans page's HTML on 2026-08-27, followed the same day by a browser-rendered pass on the pages that blocked the automated scan. A page that renders its content in the browser may publish a timing statement the HTML scan cannot see; those pages were re-checked in the browser pass, and pages that block both methods are marked accordingly rather than coded as a finding.
