2011-2012 California State University, Fresno General Catalog 55
Subchapter 5, Article 4, sections 41900-
41916. This material can be viewed on the
Internet by accessing the CSU’s website at
www.calstate.edu/GC/resources.shtml
The campus Admissions Offi ce is respon-sible
for determining the residence status of
all new and returning students for nonresi-dent
tuition purposes. The application for
admission, residency questionnaire, reclas-sifi
cation request form, and, if necessary,
other evidence furnished by the student are
used in making this determination. A stu-dent
who fails to submit adequate informa-tion
to establish eligibility for classifi cation
as a California resident will be classifi ed as a
nonresident.
Generally, establishing California residence
for tuition purposes requires a combination
of physical presence and intent to remain
indefi nitely. An adult who, at least one full
year prior to the residence determination
date for the term in which enrollment is
contemplated, can demonstrate both physi-cal
presence in the state combined with
evidence of intent to remain in California
indefi nitely may establish California resi-dence
for tuition purposes. Minors normally
derive residence from the parent(s) they
reside with or most recently resided with.
Evidence demonstrating intent may vary
from case to case but will include, and is not
limited to, the absence of residential ties to
any other state, California voter registration
and voting in California elections, main-taining
California vehicle registration and
driver’s license, maintaining active Califor-nia
bank accounts, fi ling California income
tax returns and listing a California address
on federal tax returns, owning residential
property or occupying or renting an apart-ment
where permanent belongings are kept,
maintaining active memberships in Califor-nia
professional or social organizations, and
maintaining a permanent military address
and home of record in California.
Nonresident students seeking reclassifi ca-tion
are required to complete a supplemen-tal
questionnaire that includes questions
concerning their fi nancial dependence on
parents or others who do not meet uni-versity
requirements for classifi cation as
residents for tuition purposes. Financial
independence is required, along with physi-cal
presence and intent, to be eligible for
reclassifi cation.
Exceptions to the general residence require-ments
are contained in California Education
Code sections 68070-68084 and California
Code of Regulations, Title 5, Subchapter
5, Article 4, sections 41906-41906.5, and
No admission decision will be made until
required materials have been submitted to
International Admissions.

student who must submit TOEFL
scores will be required to participate in
a post-admission testing program. The

qualifi cations are acceptable, but who
has not achieved an acceptable TOEFL
score, may be granted a conditional
admission. Such a student must obtain
an I-20 form (Certifi cate of Eligibility)
from an English language school and
attend an English as a Second Language
(ESL) program. In order to transfer from
a language school to California State Uni-versity,
Fresno, a conditionally admitted
student must present an offi cial TOEFL
score of 500 on the pencil-based exam or
173 on the computer-based exam, on a
test taken within the last two years. (See
also TOEFL Requirement, pages 54.)

of registration and continued enrollment
in the California State University. Such

or designee shall determine which
insurance policies meet these criteria.

and Programs Offi ce at 278.2782
Determination of Residence for
Nonresident Tuition Purposes
University requirements for establishing
residency are independent from those of
other types of residency, such as for tax
purposes, or other state or institutional
residency. These regulations were promul-gated
not to determine whether a student
is a resident or nonresident of California,
but rather to determine whether a student
should pay tuition on an in-state or out-of-state
basis. A resident for tuition purposes
is someone who meets the requirements set
forth in the Uniform Student Residence
Requirements. These laws governing resi-dence
for tuition purposes at the California
State University (CSU) are California
Education Code sections 68000-68090,
68120-68134, and 89705-89707.5, and
California Code of Regulations, Title 5,
