Residency for admissions criteria?

Could anyone link to information on what determines whether an applicant is considered a CA resident for admissions purposes?

All of the UC webpages that I read say that “residency for admissions” and “residency for tuition” are completely different things. But when I try to do searches for what determines “residency for admissions”, I either come up with nothing or only get redirected to the criteria for tuition / financial aid.

Residency for admissions seems extremely important for the likelihood of being admitted. I’d hate to have everything 100% sorted for in-state tuition only to be rejected for admission because I’m considered an out of state applicant due to some unknown criteria.

Thanks for any help!
