<p>This is flat out untrue!</p>
<p>As noted above (as well as in the link provided by MLM!), an out-of-state student can obtain a one-year exception to in-state residence requirements under the Condit Bill if the student has a parent residing in California and, thereafter, can qualify as a California resident for tuition purposes without having to establish financial independence, so long as the California resident parent is providing support for the student.</p>
<p>So, yes, moving to California prior to the student’s 18th birthday is an option . . . but it is not the only way for a student in this situation to qualify for in-state tuition.</p>
