Residency Information/Oregon Exchange

Residency Requirements: Students registering at COS will be classified as a resident or non-resident for tuition purposes. To be classified as a resident a student must have been a legal resident of the State of California for a year and one day immediately preceding the semester in which they wish to register. Residency is determined by:
    1) length of physical presence, and
    2) intent to make California one's residence.

Length of physical presence: A student must be physically present in California for a year and one day prior to the first day of the semester.

Intent: Objective manifestations of intent to establish California residence include, but are not limited to:

Possessing a California driver's license.
Possessing California motor vehicle license plates.
Showing California as home address on federal income tax form.
Payment of California state income tax as a resident.
Registering to vote and voting in California.
Ownership of residential property or continuous occupancy of rented or leased property in California.
Establishing and maintaining active California bank accounts.
Licensing from California for professional practice.
Maintaining permanent military address or home of record in California while in armed forces.

To establish California residency, evidence of intent showing two or more of the above listed items must be presented. The burden is on the student to demonstrate clearly both physical continuous presence in California and the intent to establish California residence. All documents presented must be valid, readable, dated at least one year before the residence determination date, and be properly identified with respect to a student's name and address.
