加州居民信息

管辖住所的法律

The rules regarding legal residence for tuition purposes at Los Medanos College are governed by the California Education Code. Under these rules, adult citizens, nationals of the United States, or certain noncitizens permitted to establish domicile can establish residence for tuition purposes. There are also particular rules that apply to the residence classification of minors (see below).

谁是加州居民？

If you are an adult present in the U.S. and do not have a noncitizen visa or immigration status 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 precludes you from establishing domicile in the U.S. (e.g., a B, C, D, F, H1, H2, H3, H4, J, M, O, P, Q, S, TN, TD, or TWOV visa) and you want to be classified as a resident for tuition purposes, you must have established your continuous presence in California more than one year prior to the starting date for the semester during 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 you wish to attend (LMC). You must also present evidence that you intend to make California your permanent home.

Evidence of intent must be dated one year before the term for 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 you seek resident classification. Physical presence within the state solely for educational purposes does not constitute the establishment of California residence under state law, regardless of the length of your stay. Your residence cannot be derived from your spouse nor, since you are an adult, from your parents. Likewise, a registered domestic partner does not derive residence from the other registered domestic partner.

建立成为加州居民的意向

你想要在加州永久居住的意向可以包括 the items below. Indications of your intent to make California your permanent residence can include

  • 登记投票并在加州选举中投票
  • designating California as your permanent address on all school and employment records, including military records if you are in the military service
  • obtaining a California driver's license or, if you never had a driver's license from any state, a California Identification Card
  • 取得加州车辆登记
  • paying California income taxes as a resident, including taxes on income earned outside California from the date you establish residence
  • establishing a California residence in 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 you keep your permanent belongings
    licensing for professional practice in California
  • the absence of these indications in other states during any period for 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 you claim California residence.

需要提供书面证据。 All relevant indications will be considered in determining your classification. Your intent will be questioned if you return to your prior state of residence when the College is not in session.

就上述项目，你必须出示证明文件。 The burden of proof is on the student to demonstrate clearly both physical presence in the state of California and intent to establish permanent California residence. Presence and intent may be manifested in many ways - no one factor is controlling. All documents presented must be valid, readable, dated at least one year before the residence determination date, and be properly identified with respect to student’s name and address. Your intent will be questioned if you return to your prior state of residence when the college is not in session.

财务独立要求

If your parents are not residents of California for tuition purposes, you will be required to be financially independent in order to be a resident for tuition purposes. If you are an adult student and your parents are not California residents, you must demonstrate financial independence, along with physical presence and intent, when seeking resident classification for tuition purposes. You are considered "financially independent" if one or more of the following applies:

  • the student is at least 24 years of age by December 31 of the calendar year for 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 resident classification is requested
  • 这名学生是美国武装部队的退伍军人
  • 该学生受法院监护或父母双方均已去世
  • 学生有配偶以外的法定受抚养人
  • the student is married or has a registered domestic partner, and was not claimed as an income tax deduction by parents or any other individual for the tax year immediately preceding the term for 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 resident classification is requested
  • the student is a single undergraduate student and was not claimed as an income tax deduction by parents or any other individual for the two tax years immediately preceding the term for 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 resident classification is requested, and can demonstrate self-sufficiency for those two years and the current year
  • the student reached the age of 18 in California while his or her parents were residents of California, and the parents left the state to establish a residence elsewhere while the student continued to be a resident of California after the parents' departure

核实财务独立性

To verify financial independence (self-support) per item 6 above, you must document your income and verify that you were not claimed as an exemption by parents or anyone else for the two years prior to the request for residence. You are also required to present a budget showing how you are able to be supported by the funds claimed. Self-support is defined as money the student has earned through his or her own employment or loans obtained with the student's own credit, without a cosigner. A gift or loan to the student from a parent, grandparent, or other family member does not constitute self-support regardless of the terms.

Residing in California with an aunt, uncle, grandparent, or friend who provides the student with room and board cannot be considered self-support, even if that person meets the (LMC) residence requirement.

适用于未成年人的一般规则

If you are an unmarried minor (under age 18), the residence of the parent with whom you live is considered your residence. If you have a parent living, you cannot change your residence by your own act, by the appointment of a legal guardian, or by the relinquishment of a parent's right of control. If you live with neither parent, your residence is that of the parent with whom you last lived. Unless you are a minor present in the U.S. under the terms of a nonimmigrant status 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 precludes you from establishing domicile in the U.S., you may establish your own residence when both your parents are deceased and a legal guardian has not been appointed. If you derive California residence from a parent, that residence must satisfy the one-year requirement.

居住权重新分类

If you submitted an online application and you have been classified as a non-resident for tuition purposes, and you feel this is in error, fill out the 住院医师重新分类申请 and submit it to 招生及记录 with appropriate documentation to prove your status. You must request reclassification by the end of the academic year in 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 you have been charged non-resident tuition or you will be responsible for the higher tuition amount.

If you have lived in California for over a year and need to be reclassified, you will need to fill out the 住院医师重新分类申请 and submit it to 招生及记录 with appropriate documentation to prove your status. 这种重新分类不是一个自动的过程。

你可以把你的文件和住院申请交给招生和记录部门。 我们将在住院医师重新分类结果公布后两周内通过电子邮件回复。 If you turn in incomplete requests, your request will be returned and a link will be provided for you to submit the specified document(s).

Please resolve your residency reclassification by the end of the semester in 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 you incurred the fees. Under no circumstances will a residency reclassification be processed beyond the end of the academic year (end of spring term in June).

In August 2014, President Obama signed the 退伍军人 Access, Choice, and 问责制 Act of 2014 ("VACA Act"), into law (Public Law No.: 113 - 146)。 Section 702 of the VACA Act (38 U.S.C. 3679(c)) requires the U.S. Department of 退伍军人 Affairs (VA) to disapprove programs of education under the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB-AD) and Post-9/11 GI Bill® education benefit programs (Chapters 30 or 33, respectively, of Title 38, U.S. Code) at institutions of higher learning if the school charges qualifying veterans and dependents ("covered individuals") tuition and fees in excess of the in-state rate for resident students for terms beginning after July 1, 2015.

“受保个人”在VACA法案中定义为：

  1. A Veteran who lives in the state in 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of discharge from a period of active duty 90天或以上的服务。
