<p>Ive seen variations of this question, and I know I will need to call some of the UC residency departments to get more clarification, but here is my scenario. Parents are separated and the minor will finish high school while living with the mother out of the state california, they will then apply to the california UC schools as an out of state student. However, the father is a more than one year permanent resident of california with all needed proof. The minor finishes finals 5/30, but does not turn 18 until September, so she will permanently move in with the father right after graduation. As i understand the california out of state tuition exemption regarding dependant minors, as long as the minor permanently moves in prior to 18th birthday, they could derive california residency status from the father. </p>
<p>The specific issues are more of a timing nature: Assuming acceptance into one of the UCs as an out of state student, the Intent to register and SLR or statement of legal residence is due 5/1, but the move to california wont occur until 6/1 after high school finals. The SLR determines whether instate tuition applies, so can it be revised after 5/1 or can it be filled out post dated like with a 6/1 projected date? Also, if the minor gets accepted as an out of state student, but then tries to claim in state status at submission of SLR could the acceptance be rescinded? I know there is an appeals process for resident tuition determination, so maybe that is one way to claim or imply residency on the 5/1 submission by post dating or otherwise providing conflicting information, then get rejected for in state status, then by time we would be in the appeals time frame, the minor would actually now be in the state by 6/1. I know you have to revise the SLR, if a living situation causes you to go from instate to out of state, but dont know if it can be revised for the other way around. Thanks to any with insight, and again I know I need to follow up with the residence deputies, etc. Im sure this scenario has come up before.</p>
