UC Out-Of-State Transfer: Tuition question

<p>Alright,</p>

<p>I'm planning (fingers crossed) on transferring from the University of Florida to UC-Santa Cruz next fall. My question is regarding tuition. After a year at UCSC can I apply for in-state tuition if I am financially INDEPENDENT while at the university for a year? </p>

<p>As always, any answers are greatly appreciated.</p>
