If a nonresident student is in the process of establishing a residence for
tuition purposes and returns to his or her former home during noninstructional
periods, his or her presence in California will be presumed to be solely of
educational purposes and only convincing evidence to the contrary will
rebut this presumption. Students who are in the state of California
solely for educational purposes will not be classified as residents
for tuition purposes regardless of their length of stay in California.
If a student who has been classified as a resident for tuition purposes leaves
California temporarily, the absence could result in the loss of California residence.
The burden is on the student to prove by documentation that he or she (or the parents
if the student is a minor) did nothing inconsistent with a claim of continuing California
residence during an absence. Steps that should be taken to retain California residence
include, but are not limited to:
- Continue to use a California address on all records (for example, educational, employment, military).
- Continue to satisfy California tax obligations. Students claiming California residence are liable
for payment of income taxes on his or her total income from the date they begin to establish residence
in California including income earned in another state or country.
- Retain a California voter's registration and vote by absentee ballot.
- Maintain a California Driver's License, California Identification Card,
and vehicle registration in California. If it is necessary to change the driver's
license or vehicle registration, then it MUST be changed back to California in the time
prescribed by law.
