Establishing Residency for Tuition

[04kL4nD]

I lived in California for 3 years and I still had a nightmare of a time trying to prove residency. They check the date of your State ID/DL and state tax returns FWIW

Yes they check, it is real easy to do a search to see what SRJC says they look at:
"A California resident is one who has established legal residence for one year and one day prior to the first day of instruction. Students who are residents of other states wishing to change their residency must show intent to remain. Just being present does not prove intent. Reasonable evidence of permanent stay in California determines state residency, such as: local voter registration, employment verification, DMV documentation, state income tax, and other proof of California residency."

Then on the SRJC application for admission it asks for things like:
"Did you file California State Income Tax the last two years?
Driver's License or I.D. card....... State:___ Date issued:___
Vehicle Registration.................. State:___ Date issued:___
Registered to vote.................... State:___ Date registered:___

Other proof of residency in California:_______________
Date entered California: / /
List states and/or countries lived in for the last two years and the dates:
State: from ___ to ___"

Then when all is done on the application you sign a statement attesting to the information:
"I DECLARE UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY THAT THE STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION SUBMITTED IN THIS ADMISSIONS APPLICATION ARE TRUE AND CORRECT. I understand that all materials and information submitted by me for purposes of admission become the property of Santa Rosa Junior College. I also understand that falsification, withholding pertinent data or failure to report changes in residency may result in District action.
