Complicated situation involving In State tuition..

<p>Ok, so here is he deal, I just moved to St louis, MO from Los Angeles, CA about 2 years ago (beginning of my freshman year). I would like to move back to California for college and go to a school such as UCLA. My dad still lives in California, but my mom is here with me in St louis. Is there any way I can get in state tuition with my dad still living in California? I have heard if he puts me on his taxes this could help, but i am not sure.</p>

<p>CA will consider you a resident of the state where you graduate from HS, usually.
Go to a UC website and read the actual form that has to be filled out- they will ask for DL, car registration, votor reg, state where you lived etc.</p>

<p>What you could do, if you plan to stay in MO for the remainder of HS, is move to Ca after graduation and establish residency during a gap year, then apply for a UC as a resident</p>

<p>ok thanks, anyone else plz?</p>

<p>I think that somemom is correct. I had the exact same situation as you, except I moved to Florida from Wisconsin. My dad put me on his taxes and I got residency, but I had to declare residency under a certain subsection of the residency rules. So make sure there aren’t any exceptions or loopholes for if you have a parent in that state.</p>
