Residency

Maximize your savings on tuition by establishing California residency! At many California colleges and universities, including ours, being a state resident can make a huge difference in your tuition costs. And if you're a nonresident, don't worry - you may be eligible for an exemption from the non-resident fee. We'll help you navigate the process of determining your residency status, submitting any required proof of residency, and even requesting a reclassification of your residency status if needed.
