California Residency Information for Tuition Purposes

To establish your California residence, you must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen who has been physically present in the state for more than one year, and you must be able to provide convincing evidence that your intent for the entire year has been to establish a permanent residence in California. If your parents do not meet the University's requirements for residence for tuition purposes, you must also be financially independent, as defined by the UC Office of General Counsel.

Detailed information regarding all of the requirements is published on the web site of the Office of the University Registrar.

If you are a current applicant to UC Davis, we recommend that you read this information in its entirety. You are encouraged to read the section titled, Establishing Residence for Tuition Purposes

Keep in mind that a decision on your residence status is not determined until after you have accepted an offer of admission to the University and completed a Statement of Legal Residence.

Please contact a Residence Deputy regarding questions regarding and of the requirements: immigration/eligibility, physical presence and intent
