  • If you have gone through a legal name change process, and need to update any campus documents, AB 245 requires all California community colleges, UCs and CSUs to reissue you any documents conferred with your updated name and gender free of charge.
  • AB 620, also known as the Equality and Equal Access in Higher Education Act, was signed into California law in 2011.

All students have the right to a welcoming, inclusive campus atmosphere, and AB 620 helps to protect that right.
