If a non-resident has to pay out-of-state tuition in California, its a one time thing, right?

chinesecricket asked:Assuming I attend college in CA as a non-resident, I only need to pay the out-of-state tuition once, right? and then next year I can qualify for in-state tuition since I will legally be a California resident?
If this is not true and I need to pay out-of-state tuition all 4 years, then that is absurd. this year, my whole family will be moving to california for good and this just so happens to be my first year in college. I should be considered a resident after a year.

After you live here a year then you’ll be considered an in-state resident, unless you file your state taxes in another state for some reason.

Don’t quote me on this, you should call your financial aid adviser but I am pretty sure that after a year of you or your family owning property in California you will be considered a resident since you will be paying taxes in that state.

i believe you must live there for 1.5 years, otherwise all 4 years would be out of state

I believe you need to change your license to Calif. and possibly be there 6mths to be considered a resident…the best thing to do would be just call the college and ask admissions.

If you are a dependant then your parents need to live in CA a year to qualify as a resident. If not then I think you have to work in the state to get residency status. But no, if your parents move here you should only have to paid out-of state your first year. Study hard.

if your family is moving to california, then you will be considered a cali resident. If your family does not move there and you choose to go to school in california, you will have to pay the out-of-state tuition for all four years

The rule is that you have to show intent to stay in the state permanently, not just for college. Make sure that no one claims you on out-of-state taxes and that you change everything over to your California address (phone, drivers license, etc.). What will help is that your family is moving for good, so assuming they buy a home and your permanent address turns into one in California, you should be okay. People who come to California just for college, though, do not have that advantage and would have to pay out-of-state tuition all four years.
