Resident Status

There are four residence requirements you must meet in order to qualify for California resident status. See them here.

Domestic students who, for various reasons, are classified as nonresidents, as well as undocumented students, may be eligible. An example of a potentially eligible nonresident domestic student is one who attended a California high school for three or more years and graduated from one, but parents did not live in California or later moved away. Students who met in-state criteria and then established residency in another state, but are now returning to California to pursue a graduate degree, may also be eligible for the tuition exemption. The exemption applies to both undergraduate and graduate students. Graduate students must provide an official high school transcript to the Registrar’s Office. Undergraduate (freshman and transfer) students may provide an official high school transcript as well; however, we will attempt to obtain a copy of it from Undergraduate Admissions. Most importantly, all students must complete their SLR (Statement of Legal Residence) online before sending us any documents.

Students denied resident status might have the right to appeal. Appeals must be filed within 30 days of notification of the campus residence affairs officer’s decision. Download the Instructions and Application to Appeal a Nonresident Classification.

You should aim for meeting the four residence requirements outlined here.

After you submit your online SLR, we will review it and make a determination. If we need additional information or documents, we will contact you via your personal email, prior to July 1. After July 1, all emails will be sent to your UCR R’Mail account.

After you submit your online SLR, we will review it and make a determination. If we need additional information or documents, we will contact you via your personal email, prior to July 1. After July 1, all emails will be sent to your UCR R’Mail account.

No. The SIR is your “Statement of Intent to Register.” It indicates that you are planning to attend UCR. The SLR is your “Statement of Legal Residence.” It indicates your resident or non-resident status. You can only submit your SLR after you have submitted your SIR. See Residency for Tuition Purposes for more details.

Yes. Every student must submit the online SLR, regardless of where you have lived or how long you have been in California. The only exception to this is if you log in to your MyUCR account, click the “Statement of Legal Residency” link and see the California bear flag badge. If you see this, you do not need to complete the form as you have already answered the required questions on the UC admissions application.

If you want to be classified as a resident, you must petition in person at our office. All status changes must be initiated before the first day of classes for the applicable term. Our office is located on the second floor of the Student Services Building, Room 2249. For in-person service, students should start at the Highlander One-Stop Shop (HOSS) on the first floor of the Student Services Building. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

No. An F1 visa is a student visa and is only valid for a specific reason and for a specific amount of time. This prohibits an F1 visa holder from establishing Residency for Tuition Purposes. For more information, please contact the International Education Center.

Not necessarily. Please see Residency for Tuition Purposes for more information.

No. Some students transferring from community colleges may receive a different classification at UCR. Most often it is because their parents are from out of state and do not meet UC requirements for financial independence. See Residency for Tuition Purposes for more information.

Yes. The SLR is to determine your residency for tuition purposes. It is not related to your choice to live or not live in the residence halls.

If your residency status changed, you must immediately notify the campus residence affairs officer: reshelp@ucr.edu

If your resident status was classified incorrectly, you must immediately notify the campus residence affairs officer (reshelp@ucr.edu). If you were incorrectly classified as a resident, you are subject to nonresident tuition. If you concealed or gave false information, you may be subject to university discipline.

The SIR is your “Statement of Intent to Register.” It indicates that you are planning to attend UCR. The SLR is your “Statement of Legal Residence.” It indicates your resident or non-resident status. You can only submit your SLR after you have submitted your SIR. See Residency for Tuition Purposes for more details.

Yes. The Office of Admissions’ determination only pertains to your GPA and test scores, not to Residency for Tuition Purposes.

You will be classified “undetermined” and automatically charged the higher, non-resident tuition rate.

The SIR is your “Statement of Intent to Register.” It indicates that you are planning to attend UCR. The SLR is your “Statement of Legal Residence.” It indicates your resident or non-resident status. You can only submit your SLR after you have submitted your SIR. See Residency for Tuition Purposes for more details.

The SLR is how you declare your residency status when you first come to UCR (as a freshman, transfer or graduate student) or when you return after a significant break (longer than three quarters). You submit it along with your Statement of Intent to Register. Additional documentation may be required to prove your status. You have until the end of the applicable term to provide it. Freshmen and transfer students who have submitted their Statement of Intent to Register will be able to access the SLR via their MyUCR account. Graduate students will receive a packet from Graduate Admissions. See Residency for Tuition and Fee Purposes for more details.

Your residency status (whether you are a California resident or not) is dependent on whether your tuition and fees will be charged at a California-resident or nonresident rate. Our campus residence affairs officer determines that status based on information you provide in your Statement of Legal Residence. See Residency for Tuition and Fee Purposes for more details.
