California Residency Information
Other out-of-state students who qualify as financially independent include veterans of the U.S. armed services, students with legal dependents other than a spouse, students with both parents deceased, students who are wards of the court, and students who are at least 24 years of age by December 31 of the year they seek to be classified as residents. Students holding nonimmigrant visas (F1, J1, etc.) may not establish California residency for purposes of fees. Students who cannot establish California residency under these rules will be required to pay out-of-state tuition as well as UC and campus fees. Non-California resident students paid $20,021 in tuition in 2008-2009. UC systemwide fees are $7,126 and campus fees range from about $425 to $1,500. Campus health care allowance/fees range from about $700 to about $1,200; this fee may be waived if a student has equivalent coverage. Students can expect the total costs for 2009-2010 to be higher. For comprehensive information about establishing residency, refer to each campus's General Catalog or contact the campus Residence Deputy:

To
be considered a California resident for purposes of fees, an out-of-state
student must have lived in California for more than one year preceding
the residence determination date, relinquish residence in other
states, show an intent to establish residency in California and
demonstrate financial independence. Unmarried undergraduates from
other states qualify as financially independent if they were not
claimed by their parents or others as dependents for tax purposes
for two preceding tax years and if their annual income is sufficient
to meet their needs. All married students and unmarried graduate
and professional students from other states qualify as financially
independent if their parents or others have not claimed them as
dependents for tax purposes for the preceding year.
