Residence for Tuition Purposes at UCLA Note: The financial independence requirement makes it extremely difficult for most undergraduate students whose parents are not California residents, including students from community colleges and other post-secondary institutions within California, to qualify for classification as a resident at the University of California. Transfer students who were classified as residents of California at their previous school should not assume that they will be classified as residents at UCLA. Obtaining College Board school codes To obtain the College Board code for any high schools and colleges you have attended or will attend before enrolling at the UCLA, use the online code search, provided by the College Board.
