Specific Rules Applying to Minors Last Updated:  Sep 13, 2006, 1:17 PM PDT

  1. Parent of Minor Moves from California. If the California resident parent(s) of an eligible minor moves from California, the minor will be entitled to resident classification as long as the minor enrolls for full-time attendance in a California public postsecondary institution within one calendar year of the parent's departure, and remains physically present in California. This classification will continue until the minor has attained the age of majority and has resided in California for the minimum time required to become a resident. The financial independence requirement does not apply to this situation.
  2. Self-supporting Minor. Minor students who are U.S. citizens or eligible aliens may be eligible for resident classification if documentation of physical presence, intent to be a California resident, and self-support through the student's own employment or credit is provided for the entire calendar year prior to the residence determination.
  3. Two-Year Care and Control. Minor students who are U.S. citizens or eligible aliens may be eligible for resident classification if they have lived with and been under the continuous care and control of an adult or series of adults other than a parent for not less than two calendar years. The adult or series of adults must have been responsible for care and control for the entire two-year period and must be California residents prior to the residence determination date.
