Residency Reclassification Request

_____________________________________________________

__________________________

Student’s Name

ID#

Pursuant to the California Education Code (Sec 68040 et seq) the general rule is that a student must have been a legal California resident

for at least one year immediately preceding the semester residence determination date in order to qualify as a “resident” for admission

and tuition purposes. The residence determination date for any semester or intersession is the day before the semester/intersession

starts. In seeking reclassification as a California resident for tuition purposes, a student must demonstrate all of the following:

1. Financial independence.

2. Living in California for at least one year and one day prior to the beginning of the term for which reclassification is requested.

3. Establishing intent to become a permanent California resident.

Students may demonstrate financial independence, physical presence and intent by answering the following questions, and providing

documentation as required from the list of acceptable proofs. The burden is on the student to demonstrate clearly financial independence,

physical presence in the state of California and intent to establish permanent California residence. Presence and intent may be manifested

in many ways—no one factor is controlling.
