RESIDENCE RECLASSIFICATION FOR CONTINUING STUDENTS ONLY

Current (continuing) CSUF students who would like to request a reclassification of their residence for tuition purposes

MUST complete the Residence Reclassification Request Form and provide supporting documents to the CSUF

Residency Specialist in the Office of Admissions and Records. Processing time is about 7 to 10 business days.

For classification, as a resident of California at CSUF for tuition purposes, we look at several items. Residency is a combination of

three factors: physical presence, intent to remain in California indefinitely, and a valid immigration status. All of these factors are

required one full-uninterrupted year prior to the Residence Determination Date for the term in which you are seeking residence

status for tuition purposes. In addition to these requirements, you must also be able to show financial independence in the current

year and in the prior three years.

The Residence Determination Dates are as follows:

Fall - September 20

Spring - January 25

Summer - June 1

If you are in California for educational purposes only, you will NOT be able to reclassify your status, regardless of the length of your stay in

California. For additional information about residency requirements, please refer to the section titled “Determination of Residence for

Nonresident Tuition Purposes” current CSUF catalog.

Please follow these instructions:

1. COMPLETE A RESIDENCE RECLASSIFICATION REQUEST FORM.

2. PROVIDE A COPY OF YOUR CALIFORNIA DRIVER’S LICENSE OR CALIFORNIA IDENTIFICATION CARD. Your request will not be

considered without one of these cards.

3. PROVIDE A COPY OF AT LEAST THREE OF THE FOLLOWING TO VERIFY YOUR INTENT. Documents must be dated one year prior

to the Residence Determination Date. Insufficient documentation will delay your reclassification request. You may be required

to submit additional documents if necessary.

• Current California DMV car registration

• California voter registration

• California state income tax forms submitted for the previous year

• Federal income tax return - If you are under 26 years of age, you will need to submit your parent’s federal tax

return transcripts. We will need copies of the three years prior to the year you apply for residency. Use IRS

form 4506-T which can be found on the IRS website at
