Minors under 19 (as of the first day of the semester applied for) and unmarried
derive their residency from their parents. If the parent is a California resident
and the minor student arrives in California before his/her 18th birthday,
that student receives California residency. If the student arrives after his/her
18th birthday, proof must be shown that student's parent(s) is a California
resident and claimed the student on their CA-540 tax form for the preceding
tax year.
For more information concerning Minor students, contact the Residency Technician
at (530) 895-2546
