- Minimum Units: Students on the permit must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 units per semester.
- Residency: Oregon students may not establish California residency while on the permit.
If these conditions are not met, the student will be removed from the permit the following semester.

Oregon students seeking to establish California residency will start by paying non-resident tuition. Immediately upon arriving in California you must establish intent and continuous physical presence. A year and a day after establishing the above you will be eligible for in-state fees.
