Each person enrolled or applying for admission to any California community college will provide such information and evidence of residence as deemed necessary by the District Governing Board to determine residence classification. Falsification of residency information may result in admission to the college being denied. Guidelines for determining residency are outlined in the California Administrative and Education Codes. The determination of a person's classification will be made in accordance with the provisions of these policies and the residence determination date for the semester or session for which the person proposes to attend. Persons so classified, unless they qualify under one or more of the exceptions later enumerated, will be required to pay a tuition fee as established by the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District Governing Board.
Every person has, in law, a residence.
Every person who is married or 18 years of age, or older, and under no legal disability to do so, may establish residence. There can only be one residence. Residence is the place where one remains when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purposes, and to which one returns in seasons of repose. A residence cannot be lost until another is gained. Residence can be changed only by the union of act and intent.
