Transfer from out-of-state school=out-of-state tuition?

[Parent46]

<p>Does anyone know if a student going to school out of state who then transfers to a UC is considered an out-of-state tuition payer because he doesn't satisfy the residency requirement of having been physically present in CA for a year before applying? Even if he was a CA high school student and parents live there?</p>

<p>That student is eligible for in state tution. </p>

You have attended a high school in California but moved to another state or country. If you have attended at least two full years of high school in California, you may apply as a California resident. Be sure to include the information in your application. If you have attended fewer than two years of high school in California, please review scenario 2 to see if you can establish residency through a parent/guardian with a permanent address.
You have a parent who has a permanent address in California, but you live part- or full-time with a parent who lives in another state or country, or you attend boarding school in another state or country. If you can establish that a parent/guardian has a permanent address in California, than you may apply as a California resident.

<p>Correction to the above post. That information is in regards to in-state/out-state admissions.</p>

<p>The OP may potentially not be considered for in-state tuition. See the link below.</p>

<p>However, the OPs situation is in no-mans land (attending an out-of-state school, which means living outside of CA, but still classified as an out-of-state student). You will require the UC to provide the final word which I think will be in your favor, in-state tuition, since you never intended to gain residency while at the out-of-state school and you still maintained your CA IDs, home of record, etc.</p>

<p>The posts above are misleading.</p>

<p>If you have graduated from a California High School and have attended at least 3 years in a California High School, you are eligible for in-state tuition.</p>

<p>You can pm me if you have any more questions. Or better yet, you can call the UC office directly and ask.</p>

<p>This forum shouldn’t be used for these kinds of nuanced and important things. You will get conflicting answers.</p>
