California residency requirements for school?

Question

I will be moving to California soon and attending school later on. I'm interested in the residency requirements because of in-state tuition. I read on the goverment site that it takes a year to establish residency. But then I read somewhere else that it can also include the just the intent of residency for a least a year, can someone who knows about this clarify it for me? And what kind of documents would they want to see? Thanks.

I will be going to a state school.

Answer 1

Each person applying to a California community college must be classified as a resident or nonresident. Resident tuition is reduced through support from the taxpayers of this community college district and the state of California. Nonresidents are required to cover the full costs of their tuition and therefore pay a higher rate.

A resident student is an individual who has lived in California for at least one year and one day prior to the beginning of a semester, and has taken steps to establish residency within the state.

A nonresident student is a person who has resided in the state for less than one year prior to the beginning of the semester, may have been in California for more than a year but took actions that don't support the establishment of residency, or may be in the United States on a visa that precludes them from being classified as a resident. Most foreign students admitted to the United States under a student (F-1) visa cannot establish residency. The only exception is under the provisions of AB 540.

Under California law, you may be considered a resident if you have both:
1. Lived in California continuously for at least one year and one day before the semester begins, and
2. Proved you intended to make California your new permanent home of residence. The following actions are considered as elements of establishing proof of your intent to become a California resident:
* Filing California income tax as a resident (the complete Tax Form 540 must be provided)
* California employment (provide certification of employment by means of a formal letter from your employer or pay stubs for the previous year)
* Registering to vote and voting in California
* Ownership of residential property or occupancy of rented or leased property in California
* Licensing from California for professional practice
* Possessing California motor vehicle registration
* Establishing and maintaining active California bank accounts
* Filing a lawsuit in California as a resident
* Possessing a California driver's license or ID Card
* Maintaining permanent military address or home of record in California while in armed forces

you won't be able to say you lived including your sister. they are going to see the position you went to extreme college and also you've were given to placed your mom and father' recommendations on your economic help software. you'll not basically be dishonest the college, you'd be dishonest the entire state of California. They do hardship checking because it doens't require a number of time to envision such issues as that. you'll both ought to suck it up and pay the instructions or take a three hundred and sixty 5 days off and stay and artwork in California first or hit upon a school on your state.
