<p>I’m confused with what you are saying UCLA says. There is only one residency policy via the Office of the President. </p>
<p>So that we’re all on the same page I have copied and pasted both the “financial independence from parents” clause and the 366-day residency rule and indicia needed. </p>
<p>What I believe I got wrong is that the 366-day residency needs to established basically when you apply (the end of that fall term). I may be reading that wrong, though. A link to the whole policy is at the bottom…</p>
<hr>
<p>Financial Independence
To be classified a resident for tuition purposes, in addition to 366 days of physical presence and intent, a student who is not dependent on a California-resident parent must demonstrate financial independence (total self-sufficiency) for two, full years immediately preceding the residence determination date of the term for which a resident classification is sought.</p>
<p>Relevant documentation to support a finding of financial independence may include tax returns from the student to verify the student’s income, as well as W-2s, two year budget of income and expenses, official apartment rental contracts or leases, and copies of all financial documentation (bank statements, loans, trust, etc) to verify the sources of the student’s income/savings. The student must not have accepted any type of financial assistance from any individual, including California residents, during the required two years.</p>
<p>Parents’ tax returns may also be required to verify the student was not claimed as a tax dependent within the two year period. Any tax returns amended after a nonresident determination has been rendered will not be considered for the term in which they were originally provided as proof of having satisfied the financial independence requirements.</p>
