Extremely urgent question about transferring from a California Community College!

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>The Honors Coordinator at a CC has told my guidance counselor that international students are able to establish residency after one year and thus will pay in-state tuition to UC and Cal State schools after that.</p>

<p>Is this true? Could you please confirm this? It would be a big favor!</p>

<p>Anyone? This is very urgent!</p>

<p>I found this on the UCSB website…I hope it helps…I don’t know for sure so I would contact a UC school/CSU school and ask them directly over the phone…anyways here is what I found:</p>

<p>“California Residency
Residency is determined by the UCSB Registrar’s Office. If you are a domestic nonresident, you may establish residency in California after one year (366 days). International students are not able to establish residency.”</p>

<p>from this webpage:
[Bren</a> School - Admissions - Information for Admitted Students](<a href=“http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/admissions/admit_info.html]Bren”>http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/admissions/admit_info.html)</p>

<p>I think you misuderstood what your counselore told you. You will pay in-state international student fee which is little cheaper than the tuition for other international students from outside of CA.</p>

<p>Are you sure they are referring to international transfers from California Community Colleges (and not to international Freshmen)?</p>

<p>@rasberryblue- Would you be knowing what the in-state international student fee is like? An average estimate would do.</p>

<p>^^ For UC.</p>

<p>there is no such thing as an in-state international student fee. Only U.S. residents can establish residency. An international students fees will look like this:<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/intl/intl_finance.html#1[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/intl/intl_finance.html#1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>there are certain visas that can give you in state tuition after a year or two residency in california, but if you’re on an F-1 visa, you’re pretty much out of luck, you would have to pay the international tuition no matter what.</p>
