Parents might move out of California, will I have to pay OOS fees? HELP!

[Tjtj1992]

<p>I have been living in California for 2 years now and graduated from a CA HS. I submitted my SLR and it has to be approved, but there’s no reason for them to deny me CA residency because I meet all of the requirements.
I am going to be a freshman this year, but my parents are considering moving to another state.
I checked the Berkeley website and this is all that I found : </p>

Parent of Minor Moves from California If you are a minor U.S. citizen or eligible alien whose parent was a resident of California but who left the state within one year of the residence determination date, you may be entitled to resident classification if you remain in California after your parent departs, enroll in a California public postsecondary institution within one year of your parent’s departure, and, once enrolled, attend continuously as a full-time student.

<p>According to this, I should be able to attend Berkeley and pay in state tuition, but the problem is that I am not a minor, I am 18 and will turn 19 soon.
I really don’t know what to do, I worked extremely hard in high school to get into my dream school but if I have to pay oos fees I won’t be able to afford it.</p>

<p>You should be fine. Talk to the Residence Affairs Unit for more information: [Contact</a> Residency - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/contact_residency.html]Contact”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/contact_residency.html)</p>

<p>I hope everything works out for you, and I agree that if you explain this to them and as long as you graduated from a California HS, you should be OK :)</p>

<p>PS: I honestly hope you don’t get OOS fees. I’m an out-of-stater and, although Berkeley is my dream school too, I’ve come to terms with the simple fact that I will be in debt for life…seriously.</p>
