@willtohelp , I haven’t actually looked into this, so I can be corrected if I’m mistaken, but I understand it that students cannot change their residency status with a California university mid-way through the academic year as you’ve described. As far as I know, tuition rates are by academic year, and each student is responsible for tuition and any financial aid benefits that are charged or awarded at the beginning of the academic year and only change upon a new academic year. Thus, a student who changes residency status mid-way through an academic year would have to wait until the beginning of the next academic year to benefit from residency tuition and residency financial aid or other resident academic benefits.
