UC - Getting California Residency HELP!!

Paying for College

<p>The best way to get your answer is to contact the UC in question and ask them.</p>

<p>HOWEVER…if your mom simply gets an apartment in CA…and doesn’t work and your father, the resident of Seattle pays for all of this, I don’t see HOW you would demonstrate that your CURRENT domicile is CA. The state does NOT care what you PLAN to do in a year or more. Residency is based on where you live NOW.</p>

<p>And remember that if your mom makes this move NOW…your request for residency won’t be even CONSIDERED for a full year after her move. I would think that the UCs would want some verification that CA IS your permanent domicile and this COULD include your parents’ CA tax return (there won’t be one) and your federal income tax return with a CA address (there won’t be one).</p>

<p>I’m really NOT trying to be a pain. Truthfully the best thing you can do is call the college. Tell them:</p>

<ol>
<li>My father lives in Seattle.</li>
<li>My mom plans to get an apartment in CA. My parents are not separated or divorced. My father needs to stay in WA state for his job. My mother will not be working in CA…and will receive all support from my father.</li>
<li>Will this qualify me for instate residency in CA?</li>
</ol>

<p>They will be able to answer your questions.</p>

<p>“I heard UCs made a deal with incoming OoS freshmen Fall 2011 that they can pay in-state tuition starting their 2nd year even without establishing “real residency.” Can someone confirm or deconfirm this?”</p>

<p>The recent Supreme court ruling applies ONLY to illegal aliens who have lived in Calif their whole lives and went to Calif High schools. There is no other “deal” . In fact, the UC’s are now accepting more FULL PAY OOS students than ever before, in an effort to increase their income, since state funding continues to be cut back. . </p>

<p>“California’s public colleges and universities can continue charging in-state tuition to students who have graduated from the state’s high schools but are in the United States illegally, the state’s Supreme Court ruled Monday.”</p>
