UC Residence Guidelines
California residence for tuition purposes is regulated by the UC Residency unit, which also publishes official residence policy and guidelines.
Regulations defining California residence for purposes of tuition and fees are exactly the same for all University of California campuses. California residence is determined by each campus residence deputy, or on appeal by the Office of General Counsel (OGC).
Full details of the regulations are available in the University of California Residence Policy and Guidelines. These guidelines can be downloaded from the UC residence website. The site also summarizes UC policy and regulations on
- Determining residence
