CA In-State for out-of-state child

Parents Forum
1

<p>Hi All,
I am new to this great Forum. I am in Florida and my son is studying his high school in a Florida public high school. I will have to move to California. But I am reluctant to my son studying half of his high school in Florida and half in CA. My question is: if only I move to CA and work there, have home etc. will my son, who would still be studying in Florida, qualify as in-state student for the CA state colleges, as my dependent child. Anyone knowledgeable, please. Thanks.</p>

<p>yes, if you move and live and work in California for 12 months+ prior to matriculation, your S will be eligible for instate tuition at UC.</p>

<p>OP…you should also look into the costs of your child staying IN Florida. You will have to pay the high school tuition for him to continue to attend a FL high school if YOU (the parents) move to another state.</p>
