I've read the law regarding residential tuition stating on the 366th day you are considered a resident.

If I moved to California in late summer, transferred drivers license and vehicle registration to my future location... How would the college necessarily know (if I start in the spring) that I have been a resident for only 6 months? Do colleges research throughly enough to look into tax information?



I am 28 planning to take Viticulture at Santa Rosa Junior College. I would hate to have to wait a year.

Thanks friends!

You need to get in line behind the illegal immigrants, how does that make you feel?

Best way is to call the school and ask what forms will I need to submit to prove I've been a California resident for one year.

I thought I heard on the radio today that there would be 10,000 fewer students admitted to the CA uni system. The wait to get in might be longer than you think.

jeeze, just the kind of person that Calif wants to see move to the state: well, guess what? Yes, they will check, you will be asked to provide a copy of your utility bills or rent receipts when you regsiter.

I absolutely hate people who want to cheat the system. If you have something coming and it is legit, go for it. But don't try and pull a fast one...

You won't necessarily need your rent or utilities, but you will need something to prove that you have established residency (although, they can be used). When I got my residency status, I brought in a copy of my drivers license, copies of all my vehicle registration cards (glad I kept the old one!), an election stub from voting, and my tax return form from the previous year. The school should furnish a list of the things that one can bring in to establish residency once they meet the time requirement.

I do agree with you, though - people need to "do the time" instead of trying to cheat the system. If they don't want to pay out of state tuition in California, then they should go to school where they have residency already established. It was hard to pay out of state tuition rates, but I managed and then I established residency and it was all good.
