<p>@Willtohelp - Residency for tuition is the same as residency for admissions.</p>
<p>And for both you must be physically present for 366 days from the date that you submit you SLR or Statement of Legal Residence.</p>
<p>That is the date, not the date you submit your application.</p>
<p>Also you must submit proof that you are trying or have become a CA resident through means of having a CA license, rent in CA, bills in CA and stuff like that.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
