CA AB2153

Defines "supplant" to mean when an undergraduate matriculated student must take an expensive special session course to graduate because a state-supported section is unavailable or all state-supported sections are full.

Requires each California State University campus to offer, to the extent possible, any course required for undergraduate degree completion as a state-supported course.

Requires matriculated students who must enroll in a special session course due to unavailability of state-supported sections to pay the lesser of the state-supported or special session course fee.

Prohibits campuses from reducing state-supported course sections while increasing self-supporting special session sections, except with Chancellor approval and when state resources are inadequate and no corresponding reduction occurs in aggregate state-supported offerings.

Limits the number of special session sections of any course to not exceed the number of state-supported sections at a campus, with an exception for special session sections offered as of January 1, 2015.
