What Documents Do I need?

Residency Reclassification or AB 540 Documents

Determine whether you have been classified as a non-resident. If you have, you may receive an email or notice that your fees are much higher than expected.  If this is the case, you may still be eligible to either (1) be reclassified as a CA resident or (2) have your non-resident tuition waived.

Submit documents to: lpc-residency@laspositascollege.edu using your Zonemail email. 

1) To be reclassified as a California resident:

• Submit the Change of Residency form (pdf) to the Office of Admissions and Records. This petition will require supporting documentation and should only be submitted if you meet all the following criteria:
  • You currently hold an immigration status (like DACA) that is eligible to establish California residency and you have had (or applied for) that status at least 366 days prior to the start of the term. Documents from USCIS immigration and/or passport with a current status are required
  • You have been physically present in California with the intent to make California your home for other than a temporary purpose at least 366 days prior to the start of the term. Two documents are required to prove California Residency. For more information please see the Change of Residency form (pdf) pages 1 and 2.

2) To have your non-resident tuition waived (AB 540):

If you don’t meet the above-mentioned criteria, you may still be eligible to have your non-resident tuition waived.

• Submit the AB 540 Form
• Submit Official California High School Transcripts with graduation date or attendance records (adult school) or transcripts from a California Community College
