Appendix A: California Residency and Nonresident Supplemental Tuition
The University of California (UC) Residence Policy and Guidelines is the main source of residency information and is utilized by the Campus Residence Deputy to make determinations regarding residency. Read the full text of the UC Residence Policy and Guidelines here.
If you do not meet the University of California requirements for residence for tuition purposes on the residence determination date for each term in which you propose to attend the university, you must pay a Nonresident Supplemental Tuition in addition to all other fees. The residence determination date is the day instruction begins at the last of the University of California campuses to open for the quarter, and for schools on the semester system, the day instruction begins for the semester.
Regulations Governing Residence
The determination of residence for tuition purposes at the University of California is governed by the UC Residence Policy and Guidelines established by the UC Regents, and implemented by the UC President in consultation with the UC General Counsel.
Under the UC Residence Policy and Guidelines, adult citizens and certain classes of aliens can establish residence for tuition purposes. The presumption of residence deputies is that students and their parents have read and understand the UC residence requirements prior to submitting their residence information for determination of residence for tuition purposes. Decisions on residence status are made after a student accepts an offer of admission to the university by submitting a Statement of Intent to Register and completes a Statement of Legal Residence.
Note: Registered domestic partners are included in rules that apply to spouses.
Who Is a Resident?
If you are an adult student (at least 18 years of age), you may establish residence in California if
(1) You are a U.S. citizen.
(2) You are a permanent resident or other immigrant.
(3) You are a nonimmigrant who is not precluded from establishing a domicile in the U.S. This includes nonimmigrants who hold valid visas of the following types: A, E, G, H-1B, H-4, I, K, L, N, O-1, O-3, R, T, U, or V.
To establish residence you must be physically present in California for more than one year, and you must come here with the intent to make California your home as opposed to coming to this state to go to school. Physical presence within the state solely for educational purposes does not constitute the establishment of California residency, regardless of the length of stay. You must demonstrate your intention to make California your home by severing your residential ties with your former state of residence and establishing those ties with California. If your parents are not California residents, you are required to be financially independent in order to be a resident for tuition purposes. Your residence cannot be derived from your spouse, a registered domestic partner or a parent.
Requirements for Financial Independence
You are considered “financially independent” if one or more of the following applies:
(1) You are at least 24 years of age by December 31 of the calendar year of the term for which you are requesting resident classification.
(2) You are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces.
(3) You are a ward of the court or both parents are deceased.
(4) You have legal dependents other than a spouse or a registered domestic partner.
(5) You are married, a registered domestic partner, or a graduate student, and you were not/will not be claimed as an income tax deduction by any individual other than your spouse or domestic partner for the tax year immediately preceding the term for which you request resident classification.
(6) You are a single undergraduate student and you were not claimed as an income tax deduction by your parents or any other individual for the two tax years immediately preceding the term for which you request resident classification, and you can demonstrate self-sufficiency for those years and the current year.
Note: Financial independence is not a factor in determining residence status for graduate students who are employed 49 percent or more time or awarded the equivalent in university-administered funds (e.g., grants, stipends, fellowships) in the term for which a resident classification is sought.
Establishing Intent for California Residency
You must demonstrate your intent to make California your home by severing your residential ties with your former state of residence and establishing those ties with California shortly after arrival. Indications of your intent to make California your permanent residence include the following: registering to vote and voting in California elections; 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 do not drive, a California identification card; obtaining California vehicle registration; paying California income taxes as a resident, including taxes on income earned outside California from the date you establish residence; establishing a home in California where you keep your personal belongings; and licensing for professional practice in California. Documentary evidence is required and 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 university is not in session.
General Rules Applying to Minors
If you are an unmarried minor (under age 18), the residence of the parent with whom you live is considered to be your residence. If you live with neither parent, your residence is that of the parent with whom you last lived. Unless you are a minor alien present in the U.S. under the terms of a nonimmigrant visa, which precludes you from establishing domicile in the U.S., you may establish your own residence when both parents are deceased and a legal guardian has not been appointed. If you have a parent living, you cannot change your residence by your own act, by appointment of a legal guardian, or by relinquishment of your parent's right of control. If you derive California residence from a parent, that parent must satisfy the one-year durational residence requirement.
Specific Rules Applying to Minors
(1) Divorced or separated parents. To derive California resident status from a California-resident parent, you must move to California to live with that parent before your 18th birthday, remain in the state, and establish California indicia of intent from the time you reach 18. Otherwise, you will be considered out-of-state student and will have to meet all applicable UC residence requirements.
(2) Parent of minor moves from California. You may be entitled to resident classification if you are an eligible minor whose parent(s) was a resident of California who left the state within one year of the residence determination date if
-
(a) you remained in California after your parent(s) departed;
-
(b) you enrolled in a California public postsecondary institution within one year of your parent(s)’ departure; and
-
(c) once enrolled, you maintain continuous attendance in that institution. Financial independence is not required in this case.
(3) Self-support. You may be entitled to resident classification if you are a minor and a U.S. citizen or eligible alien and can prove the following:
-
(a) you lived in California for the entire year immediately preceding the residence determination date;
-
(b) you have been self-supporting for that year; and
-
(c) you intend to make California your permanent home.
(4) Two-year care and control. You may be entitled to resident classification if you are a minor and a U.S. citizen or eligible alien and you have lived continuously with an adult who is not your parent for at least two years prior to enrolling at the University of California. The adult with whom you are living must have been responsible for your care and control for the entire two-year period and must satisfy all UC residence requirements.
Exemptions from Nonresident Supplemental Tuition
You may be entitled to an exemption from the nonresident supplemental tuition if one of the following applies to you:
Note: Some of the exceptions conferring residence status and exemptions are for a limited period of time. Check with the Campus Residence Deputy for more information:
(1) California State Law and UC Regents Policies:

The spouse, registered domestic partner, or unmarried, dependent child under age 21 of a member of the University faculty, who is a member of the Academic Senate, may be eligible for an exemption from nonresident supplemental tuition. The Residence Deputy must verify membership in the Academic Senate and the child’s dependent status before this exemption may be granted.
(4) Child, spouse, or registered domestic partner of a university employee. A full-time UC employee assigned to work outside the State of California in an institution or state agency and the unmarried, dependent child under the age of 21 or the spouse or registered domestic partner of such an employee may be eligible for resident classification. This provision most often applies to employees of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
(5) Child, spouse, or registered domestic partner of a deceased public law enforcement or fire suppression employee. A student who is a child, spouse or registered domestic partner of a deceased public law enforcement or fire suppression employee, who was a California resident and was killed in the course of law enforcement or fire suppression duties may be eligible for an exemption.
(6) Dependent child of a California resident.

Please be aware that when this exemption expires, the student must have fulfilled all applicable UC residence requirements to maintain resident status. The student must also maintain continuous attendance in a California public postsecondary institution.
(7) Graduate of a California school operated by the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (B.I.A.). A student who is a graduate of a California school operated by the B.I.A. (e.g., Sherman Indian High School) may be eligible for a resident classification.

Temporary Absences
If you are a nonresident student who is in the process of establishing a residence for tuition purposes and you return to your former home during noninstructional periods, your presence in the state will be presumed to be solely for educational purposes and only convincing evidence to the contrary will rebut this presumption. Students who are in the state solely for educational purposes will not be classified as residents for tuition purposes regardless of the length of their stay.
If you are a student who has been classified as a resident for tuition purposes and you leave the state temporarily, your absence could result in the loss of your California residence. The burden will be on you (or on your parents if you are under age 24) to verify that you did nothing inconsistent with your claim of a continuing California residence during your absence. Steps that you (and/or your parents) should take to retain a California residence include:
-
Maintain a residence in California.
-
Continue to use a California permanent address on all records—educational, employment, military, etc.
-
Continue to satisfy California tax obligations. If you are claiming California residence, you are liable for payment of income taxes on your total income from the date that you establish your residence in the state, including income earned in another state or country.
-
Retain your California voter’s registration and vote by absentee ballot.
-
Maintain a California driver’s license and vehicle registration. If it is necessary to change your driver’s license or vehicle registration, you must change them back within the time prescribed by law.
-
Return to California for leaves and vacations.
-
Maintain active bank accounts in California.
-
Store belongings in California.
If a student (or the student's parent(s)) relinquishes California residence after moving from the state, 366 days of physical presence coupled with one year of demonstrated intent must be re-established.
Petitioning for Change of Classification
You must petition in person at the Office of the Registrar for a change of classification from nonresident to resident status. Petitions must be initiated during the filing period for the term for which you intend to be classified as a resident. Late petitions will not be accepted.
Time Limitation on Providing Documentation
If additional documentation is required for residence classification but is not readily accessible, you will have until the third week of instruction of the applicable term to provide it. Failure to meet this deadline will result in your file being closed and your status remaining as a nonresident.
Incorrect Classification
If you are incorrectly classified as a resident, your classification will be corrected and you will be required to pay all nonresident tuition not paid. If you concealed information or furnished false information and were classified incorrectly as a result, you are also subject to university discipline. Resident students who become nonresidents must immediately notify the campus residence deputy.
Inquiries and Appeals
All inquiries regarding residence requirements, determination, and/or recognized exceptions should be directed to the Residence Deputy, Office of the Registrar, 190 Hahn Student Services Building, University of California, Santa Cruz, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064-1077, reg_fees@ucsc.edu, or to the Residence Specialist, University of California Office of the General Counsel, 1111 Franklin Street, 8th Floor, Oakland, CA 94607-5200.

Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crime Statistics Act
Choosing a postsecondary institution is a major decision for students and their families. Along with academic, financial and geographic considerations, the issue of campus safety is a vital concern. In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). This act required all postsecondary institutions participating in HEA’s Title IV student financial assistance programs to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The act was amended in 1992, 1998, and 2000. The 1998 amendments renamed the law the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in memory of a student who was slain in her dorm room in 1986. It is generally referred to as the Clery Act.
More information about the Clery Act can be found at: clerycenter.org.

Appendix D: Smoking on Campus Policy
To protect the rights of the nonsmoking campus community to breathe smoke-free air, UCSC previously adopted a policy that bans smoking in areas occupied by the nonsmoking population. The current policy applies to residential and nonresidential university buildings and vehicles and to all individuals on the campus. Smoking is prohibited inside the residence halls (including student rooms) as well as residence hall lounges, inside individual apartments, community rooms, bathrooms, lounges, cafés, and dining halls. Additionally, smoking is, prohibited in all indoor public spaces at UC Santa Cruz—both academic and residential. The no-smoking policy includes exterior stairways, decks, and balconies. Smoking outside is permitted only in designated areas, 25 feet away from all buildings and air intakes. Tobacco products are not be sold on campus through vending machines or campus establishments. UCSC supports and assists efforts to stop smoking by providing literature and referrals to community cessation programs. Students may obtain information about the programs from the Cowell Student Health Center (831) 459-2211. NOTE: The University of California has committed to becoming entirely tobacco-free at all campus locations systemwide, no later than January 1, 2014. UCSC will be implementing a revised policy reflecting this change prior to the January 1, 2014, implementation. Use of all forms of tobacco, including smokeless tobacco products and unregulated nicotine products (e.g., “e-cigarettes”) will be strictly prohibited in all indoor and outdoor spaces including parking lots. Tobacco users will be supported in accessing a variety of free and low-cost tobacco-cessation services. For more detailed information about the current smoking policy see the web: ehs.ucsc.edu (under Environmental Health and Safety [EH&S] Administration, Policies).

Appendix F: Graduate Student–Faculty Adviser Relationship Guidelines
The University of California, Santa Cruz, expects professional, fair, and frequent communication between graduate students and their advisers. Open communication and mutual respect should be the foundation of the relationship between a graduate student and faculty adviser. The graduate adviser and the graduate student should discuss their student-adviser relationship early, and clearly communicate mutual and agreeable expectations from the beginning. Regular interactions, especially face-to-face meetings, are essential in ensuring that expectations and goals are met.
In an optimal learning environment, the faculty adviser should provide timely and constructive feedback on performance and expectations; timely and sufficient warning of inadequate performance; appropriate recognition of a student’s intellectual contributions; and academic and professional advice on all stages of the graduate career. The graduate student should be an active participant in seeking advice and getting feedback on progress, keeping the faculty adviser informed of plans, progress, and obstacles, and contributing during regular progress assessments. The faculty adviser and the student each have the duty and responsibility to initiate meetings as necessary to foster and protect the success of the relationship.
Professionalism and fairness should guide the graduate student–faculty adviser relationship. Graduate students and faculty should avoid relationships that conflict with their particular roles and responsibilities. Faculty advisers and graduate students are bound by policies that prohibit discrimination and harassment. Graduate students may be entitled to accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act. (See Appendix E: Policies and Regulations and Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Policies.) When concerns and conflicts arise, they should be raised and attended to professionally, honestly, and promptly. Retaliation and discrimination against students for raising concerns are prohibited.
If something happens that upsets the faculty adviser–graduate student relationship and cannot be resolved either by direct or indirect discussion, a graduate student can seek assistance from a trusted faculty member, the dean of graduate studies, the graduate director, the department chair, the ombudsman, and/or counseling and psychological services. Graduate students may request confidentiality. Many departments have developed processes to address a range of potential concerns. For information about grievance and appeal procedures, see Appendix E: Policies and Regulations and Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Policies. For a description of additional informal and formal grievance and appeal processes available to UCSC graduate students, please refer to the Graduate Student Handbook.
Appendix G: Student Judicial Affairs
Student Judicial Affairs is responsible for the adjudication of all nonacademic student and student organization misconduct for UCSC. In this capacity, Student Judicial Affairs administers the Code of Student Conduct in accordance with Section 100.00 of the Student Policies and Regulations Handbook. Allegations of misconduct may be brought by students, faculty, staff, police, visitors to the campus, and members of our local community. Allegations should be made in writing and delivered to Student Judicial Affairs.
Upon receipt of an allegation, Student Judicial Affairs will review the merits of the allegation and then conduct an investigation to determine if a violation has occurred. If no violation can be proven, the matter will be dropped. If a violation is proven, then an appropriate sanction will be recommended to the student or student organization for their review and acceptance. If the recommendation is unacceptable, the student or student organization may request a formal hearing or file a written appeal. If you have a question about a possible violation, university policy, or your rights in the discipline process, please feel free to contact the office for a phone consultation or to schedule an appointment.
Student Judicial Affairs serves as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance resolution office for grievances of alleged discrimination based on disability or handicap. In addition, Student Judicial Affairs is the resource office for grievances of alleged discrimination based on race, color, national origin, or sexual orientation, and for incidents of hate/bias.
The Office of Student Judicial Affairs is located in 245 Hahn Student Services Building and can be reached by phone at (831) 459-1738, by fax at 459-3188, or via e-mail at SJA@ucsc.edu; or on the Web.
