<p>I have been reading this and now I'm freaking out because it seems like I won't be considered as a resident!!!</p>

<p>About</a> Residence for Tuition Purposes</p>

<p>So if you are 24 years old or more and not financially independent, you won't be considered a resident?? I don't get it!! I have been living in California for the past 4 years and have never lived in another U.S. state!!</p>

<p>I really can't afford to pay the out of state tuition!!</p>

<p>No i think its only if your UNDER 24 and your parents don’t claim you as an exemption, you need to prove you are financially independent. I’m not 100% sure on this though.</p>

<p>Well the thing is that my parents are deceased, but I live with my grandparents in California and I am dependent on them.</p>

<p>It only applies if you are under 24 and NOT dependent on a California resident.</p>

<p>Basically it’s saying that if you meet criteria one and two (live in cali for 366+ days and show intent to stay here) but you are under 24, then you must show that you are also financially independent.</p>

<p>Guess they don’t want kids that are still dependent on their parents coming to live in cali for a year and getting lower tuition rates.</p>

<p>Oh and…

</p>

<p>If you are over the age of 24 you are automatically considered to be financially independent.</p>

6

<p>That is incorrect Vertex.</p>

<p>Students who are financially dependent on parents who are residents of California are exempt from showing financial independence. They are considered residents for tuition.</p>

<p>Where did I say they weren’t exempt?</p>

<p>Either I’m seeings things or you edited your post. I’ll go with I’m seeing things since I’m a psychotic S.O.B. so nvmind me.</p>

<p>So will I have to pay out of state tuition?</p>

<p>I am 24, live with my grandparents (they don’t give me money just provide me with a place to live for free) and I live on financial aid (I’m not working).</p>

10

<p>If you meet the 2nd criteria you’re good to go. Financial aid might even cover most of your tuition.</p>

11

<p>Yeah I do because I have a bank account in Cal, a california driver licence, a california ID and my car is registered in california.</p>

<p>Yep, you meet all three so you’re fine.</p>
