It is very difficult for out of state students to establish California residency for tuition purposes. Students who move to California to attend a university or community college, for example, cannot establish residency while they are attending school. Your residency until age 24 will depend on your parent’s state of residence not yours, unless you have a job with sufficient income to cover ALL your expenses (out-of-state tuition, rent, food, transportation, etc.), and you do not return to your parent’s state during winter or summer breaks, etc.</p>
<p>California has made it VERY difficult to establish residency for tuition purposes, so please do not assume you will pay the lower rate after only one year, or you may find you cannot afford to continue.</p>
