Out of State -> California Community College -> UC Berkeley / UCLA

Hey ucbalumnus thanks for your response, this is a bit late your response squeezed in between my posts lol.

I spent some time to understand the UC in-state residency requirements, and it’s essentially imposible due to:

“If you moved to California primarily to attend the University of California, you are here for educational purposes and may not be eligible for a resident classification for purposes of tuition.”

I’m wondering if either:

  1. I live in California independently for 1 year prior to enrollment in a CC
  2. I attend a California CC (paying OOS tuition).
    In either case would I transfer to UC as an in-state student?
