 RULES DETERMINING RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT STATUS

To establish residency in California, a person must (1) be a citizen of the United States, or possess or be an applicant for a permanent resident, amnesty or other visa that does not preclude establishing domicile in the United States, (2) be physically present in California for one year plus one day prior to the start of the semester and (3) prove that they intend to make California their permanent home of residence.

In order to prove intent, the law requires that sufficient evidence be shown to prove that the person has abandoned their prior place of residency with the intention of making California their new state of permanent residence.

A student seeking reclassification from non-resident to resident status must complete and file a residency questionnaire with the Registrar along with supporting documents as proof of intent to establish California residence.  The following will accepted as proof of intent to establish residency (not all are required):
