<p>There are many criteria that indicates you are a Cali resident. Such as, if you attended 3 years or more of high school in California, you are exempt from OOS tuition.<br>
If you satisfy the requirements for Cali residency, you should have no problem in your appeal. You might need documents to prove your residency.</p>
<p>If your first payment was due August 15th, you will have to pay the late fee regardless, because even if you were considered in-state you would have to pay by that date. lol. </p>
<p>Oh. I just remembered, if you attended another state school at a different state and if you have established residency at that state to receive in-state tuition for that college, you will have to pay out of state tuition fee for UC’s. lol. Double check on that to make sure. I don’t want to be sued.</p>
