California governor Gavin Newsom signed multiple pieces of legislation Friday to improve higher education in the state for certain underserved student populations.
One of the bills signed into law, Assembly Bill 2881, will support students that are parents and are enrolled at a California Community Colleges, California State University or University of California campus. It offers priority course registration for parents with children under age 18 who receive more than half of their financial support from that parent. The law also requires each campus to have a webpage highlighting specific services and supports available to student parents.
