Existing law establishes uniform student residency requirements for purposes of ascertaining the amount of fees to be paid by students at public institutions of higher education in the state. Existing law entitles an undergraduate student who is a dependent of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in this state on active duty to resident classification for purposes of determining the amount of tuition and fees. Existing law entitles a graduate student, under the same circumstances, to resident classification for no more than one academic year, after which he or she is subject to the general provisions otherwise establishing student residency requirements. Existing law allows a student dependent of a member of the Armed Forces to keep his or her resident classification until he or she has resided in the state for the minimum time necessary to become a resident in the event the member of the Armed Forces upon whom they are dependent is transferred outside of the state or retires as an active member of the Armed Forces. Existing law also grants a member of the Armed Forces who is stationed in the state on active duty, except a member assigned for educational purposes to a state-supported institution of higher education, to resident classification for tuition purposes. A member of the Armed Forces seeking a graduate degree is entitled to resident classification for no more than 2 academic years. Federal law prohibits a state receiving federal assistance under the Higher Education Opportunity Act from charging a higher rate for attendance at a public institution of higher education than is charged to residents of the state to a member of the Armed Forces who is on active duty for more than 30 days and whose domicile or permanent duty station is in the state, or to his or her spouse or dependent child. Existing federal law requires that the rate continue to apply so long as the member or his or her spouse or dependent child is continuously enrolled at the institution, notwithstanding a subsequent change in the permanent duty station of the member to a location outside of the state. This bill would amend state law to conform with federal law granting a member of the Armed Forces, or his or her dependent, as provided, entitlement to resident classification for so long as he or she is continuously enrolled at that institution. The bill would request the Regents of the University of California to establish the same residency requirements as those established by this bill for students enrolled at the University of California.
