If you have not been living in California with intent to make it your permanent home for more than one year immediately before the residence determination date for each term in which you propose to attend the University, you must pay a nonresident tuition fee in addition to all other fees. The rules and regulations for establishing residency for tuition purposes are defined by the University of California Board of Regents which is authorized by the California Legislature, (SOR 110-2), to provide classification for a tuition differential between resident and nonresident students.
Reduced Nonresident Tuition. Effective Fall 1997, the annual nonresident tuition fee is reduced by 75 percent for graduate doctoral students who have advanced to candidacy, subject to the understanding that: (a) a graduate doctoral student may receive the reduced nonresident tuition rate for a maximum of three years; and (b) any such student who continues to be enrolled or who re-enrolls after receiving the reduced fee for three years will be charged the full nonresident tuition rate that is in effect at the time.
Please note: This summation is not a complete explanation of the laws regarding residence. Applicable sections of the Education Code and the regulations adopted by The Regents of the University of California are available for inspection at the Office of the Registrar. Please note that changes may be made in the residence requirements between the publication date of this statement and the relevant determination date.
An individual, a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, must establish residency in California before he or she is entitled to pay resident tuition rates. The requirements to establish residency for tuition purposes are independent from those of other types of residency, such as voting or holding public office. A resident for tuition purposes is someone who meets the requirements set forth in the University of California Board of Regents Policy Relating to Residence and summarized here.
These regulations for residency apply only to the University of California. Tuition classification as a resident at a California State University or California Community College does not mean that a student will be classified as a resident when transferring to a University of California campus.
All three of the following requirements must be met for classification as a resident:
A. Twelve months of continuous physical presence.
An adult person (18 years or older) must physically reside in the state for the twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the residency determination date for the term for which resident classification is requested.
B. Intent to establish a domicile.
Objective evidence of intent to be a resident of California is demonstrated by the absence of ties to the former state of residence for twelve consecutive months. If implementation of the following actions is delayed, the commencement of the one-year period will be delayed.
1. California driver's license or identification card.
2. California motor vehicle registration.
3. Employment history in California.
4. Filing of state and federal tax return as a California resident.
5. California vehicle registration.
6. Transfer of major banking and/or investment services to California.
7. Change of permanent address on all pertinent records.
8. All other materials of whatever kind or source which may have bearing or determining domicile or residency status.
C. Financial independence.
For purposes of residency determination, financial independence means a student's ability to meet his or her own expenses from self-generated funds under his or her control. A student will generally be considered financially independent if her or she is:
1. At least 24 years of age by December 31 of the calendar year for which he or she is requesting resident classifications;
2. A veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces;
3. A ward of the court, or both parents are deceased;
4. Has legal dependents other than spouse;
5. Married, or a graduate student or professional student, and was not claimed as an income tax deduction by both parents or any other individual for the tax year immediately preceding the term for which he or she is requesting resident classification;
6. A single undergraduate student and was not claimed as an income tax deduction by parents or any other individual for the two tax years immediately preceding the term for which the student is requesting resident classification and can demonstrate self-sufficiency for those years.
Please note that these criteria apply to financial independence as it relates to residency determination and does not necessarily apply to financial aid determination of independence.
If you are an unmarried minor (under age 18), the residence of the parent with whom you live is considered to be your residence. If you have a parent living, you cannot change your residence by your own act, by appointment of a legal guardian, or by the relinquishment of your parent's right of control. If you lived with neither parent, your residence is that of the parent with whom you last lived. Unless you are a minor alien present in the U.S. under the terms of a nonimmigrant visa which precludes you from establishing a domicile in the U.S., you may establish your own residence when both your parents are deceased and a legal guardian has not been appointed. If you derive California residence from a parent, that parent must satisfy the one-year durational residence requirement.
Member of the Military: If you are a member of the U.S. military stationed in California on active duty, unless you are assigned for educational purposes to a state-supported institution of higher education, you may be exempt from the nonresident tuition fee until you have lived in California long enough to become a resident. You must provide the Residence Deputy with a statement from your commanding officer or personnel officer stating that your assignment to active duty in California is not for educational purposes. The letter must include the dates of your assignment to the state.
Spouse or Other Dependents of Military Personnel: You are exempt from payment of the nonresident tuition fee if you are a spouse, a natural or adopted child, or a stepchild who is a dependent of a member of the U.S. military stationed in California on active duty. The exemption is available until you have lived in California long enough to become a resident. You must petition for a waiver of the nonresident tuition fee each quarter you are eligible. Financial independence is not required for students who are dependents of a member of the armed forces stationed in California on active duty.
Non-resident Students Dependent on California Residents: If you have not been an adult resident of California for more than one year and you are the dependent child (natural or adopted) of a California resident who has been a resident for more than one year immediately prior to the residence determination date, you may be entitled to a waiver of the nonresident tuition until you have resided in California for the minimum time necessary to become a resident so long as you maintain continuous attendance at a post-secondary institution.
Child or Spouse of Faculty Member: To the extent funds are available, if you are an unmarried dependent child under age 21 or the spouse of a member of the University faculty who is a member the Academic Senate, you may be eligible for a waiver of the nonresident tuition fee. Confirmation of the faculty member's membership on the Academic Senate must be secured each quarter before this waiver is granted.
Inquiries regarding residence requirements, determination, and/or recognized exemptions should be directed to either:
Residence Deputy, Office of the Registrar
Student Affairs and Administrative Services Building (SAASB) 1105
University of California, Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara, CA 93106-2015

Office of the General Counsel
Legal Analyst-Residence Matters
1111 Franklin Street, 8th Floor
Oakland, CA 94607-5200
No other University personnel are authorized to supply information relative to residence requirements for tuition purposes. Any student who believes that an incorrect residence classification has been made by the Residence Deputy may appeal in writing to the legal analyst within 45 days of notification of the Residence Deputy's final decision.
If you were incorrectly classified as a resident, you are subject to reclassification and to payment of all nonresident tuition fees not paid. If you concealed information or furnished false information and were classified incorrectly as a result, you are also subject to University discipline.
If you are a continuing student, and wish to change your residence classification from nonresident to resident status you must petition at the Office of the Registrar. All changes of status must be initiated on or before the deadline listed in the Schedule of Classes for the applicable quarter.

For more information about the Taxpayer
Relief Act, refer to this web site maintained
for students at the University of California campuses: http://www.1098-T.com.
The following information is provided in compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990.
UCSB takes great pride in having one of the highest graduation rates after four years (42%) among public universities. After six years, over two thirds of UCSB's entering freshman class have graduated. See the accompanying chart for more information.
UC Santa Barbara is committed to providing for a safe and secure environment and supports a reporting philosophy that encourages victims or witnesses to report all incidents to the UCSB Police immediately. See the accompanying chart for more information.
The University of California campuses maintain various types of records pertaining to students. Student records-that is, those pertaining to students in their capacity as students-include but are not limited to academic evaluations, transcripts, test scores and other academic records, general counseling and advising records, disciplinary records, and financial aid records.
The disclosure of information from student records is governed in large measure by the Federal Family Educational Rights Privacy Act of 1974, by the California Public Records Act, by the Information Practices Act of 1977, by the State of California Education Code, and by university policy and procedures implementing these laws that protect the student's right of privacy, provide safeguards for the confidentiality of student records, and permit students access to their own records.
Pursuant to the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), and the University of California Policies Applying to the Disclosure of Information from Student Records, students at the Santa Barbara campus of the University have the right:
1.To inspect and review records pertaining to themselves in their capacity as students;
2.To request that personally identifiable information from their student records be withheld from disclosure except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent;
3.To seek correction of their student records through a request to amend the records or a request for a hearing; and
4.To file complaints with the Department of Education regarding alleged violations of the right accorded them by the Federal Act.
Copies of the university's policies and campus implementation procedures can be obtained from and questions regarding various privacy regulations can be addressed to the Office of Public Affairs, 1124 Cheadle Hall. For the types and locations of student records maintained by the campus, and titles and addresses of the officials responsible for the records, please refer to Policy P-4005 in the UCSB Policies and Procedures Manual, available in campus offices.
The following information is designated as "directory information" and normally will be released by the campus without the consent of the student: name, current local and permanent address and telephone number, electronic mail address, date/place of birth, major, number of units currently enrolled in, class level, dates of attendance, degree/honors awarded, most recent school attended, athletic information including height and weight, and participation in officially recognized organizations. Students have the right to restrict the disclosure of this information. A form to restrict disclosure of any or all of this information may be submitted at the Office of the Registrar. A student requesting such restrictions should be aware, however, of the implications of such a request. For example, if a request is made to withhold from disclosure a student's name and degrees and honors received, the campus cannot make public any honors received by the student, such as election to Phi Beta Kappa, and cannot include the student's name and degree earned in any campus publication. Similarly, if a request is made to withhold from disclosure a student's name and dates of attendance, a student's status as a student cannot be verified for potential employers without the written consent of the student. Further, if a student's last instruction to the campus was to withhold from disclosure the degree granted to that student, that information cannot be confirmed for a third party in connection with the appointment of the graduate to a new position or an honor that individual received.
Each fall, a free UCSB Associated Students Student & Faculty Directory is made available to all students. The directory lists the name, local address and telephone number, and permanent address of any enrolled student who has (a) answered affirmatively that he or she consents to be listed in the directory on the Personal Information Form that all students must complete every fall quarter; and (b) not requested that directory information be withheld by submission of the appropriate form to the Office of the Registrar. A negative response to the Student Directory Option will result only in the withholding of the student's name and address information from the Student Directory. Any student who wishes to have directory information withheld for purposes other than the Student Directory must complete a Not for Release form at the Office of the Registrar as described above.
Students are given an opportunity to examine and update their personal information at any time upon request at the Office of the Registrar or through the GOLD System accessible through the UCSB Homepage at http://www.ucsb.edu.

Campus Regulations Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students is available, free of charge, in the Office of Student Life, Student Affairs and Administrative Building (SAASB) 2201. This document includes regulations relating to student activities as well as to academic misconduct. It also specifies conditions for the application of sanctions for unsatisfactory conduct.
Any student who believes that a grade was assigned based upon criteria other than course performance may challenge that grade using Academic Senate Regulations A25 and A10. Graduate students should consult the Graduate Division on grades to be contested, regardless of level or college in which the course was taken.
(A) In the Santa Barbara division the term grade assigned to an individual student, or in the College of Creative Studies the number of units assigned, may be challenged by that student on the grounds that the grade (or the number of units) was based on an evaluation of the student's work by criteria that were not clearly and directly related to the student's performance in the course for which the grade was assigned.
(B) If after speaking to the faculty member in charge of the course and department chair, a student wishes to contest a grade on such grounds, he/she must present a written appeal to an official designated by the Executive Committee, usually the Dean of Undergraduate Studies (or equivalent) of the appropriate school(s) or college(s) offering the course (hereinafter, "The Dean(s)"). This appeal must be submitted before the end of the term following the term in which the grade was assigned. Upon receipt of this appeal, the Dean(s) shall promptly seek to resolve the issue by consulting the parties involved and the chair of the instructor's department. If the chair was the instructor involved he/she shall not participate in these deliberations in any way except as one of the parties. In such cases, the Dean shall proceed to attempt to resolve the dispute independently. If the Dean was the instructor involved, he/she shall not participate in these deliberations except as one of the parties. In such cases, the immediate supervisor of the Dean(s) shall recommend to the Executive Committee an appropriate alternate for the Dean. If the complaint is resolved, the Dean(s) shall provide a letter describing the resolution to the student(s), instructor(s), and chair(s) involved.
(C) If these efforts are unavailing within 30 days following receipt of the student's initial written complaint by the Dean(s), the student may within the next 15 days present a final written appeal to the Executive Committee(s) of the respective college(s), a copy of which shall also be given to the Dean(s). If a member of the Executive Committee was the instructor involved, that person shall not participate in the case in any way except as one of the parties. As soon as feasible, the Dean(s) shall prepare a report for the Executive Committee providing the details of (i) the prior investigations, including information as to the allegations and the evidence produced by the student to establish the case; (ii) the instructor's response to the student's allegations; (iii) all other information the Dean may have gathered in the course of the investigation that bears on the credibility of the student's complaint. Copies of the Dean's report shall be sent to the instructor and the student, both of whom submit written comments to the Executive Committee within 30 days of receipt of the Dean's report. Having granted both parties a reasonable opportunity, the committee shall make a final determination within 60 days after receipt of the complaint. Should the Dean's investigation tend to demonstrate a pattern of faculty misconduct extending beyond the particular case, the Dean shall inform the Executive Committee which is then responsible for assuring that appropriate corrective actions are taken including but not limited to grade changes as specified in (D) below and referral of the case to other appropriate committees and agencies.
(D) If the Executive Committee decides that the grade (or units) assigned is (are) not reflective of the student's course performance, it shall authorize one of the actions stated below.
The committee may act only as follows:
The committee shall report its decision to the Registrar for recording.
(A) (SR 542) No student may enter upon any organized instructional activity until he or she has registered and his or her enrollment has been approved by the appropriate study-list authority. No student may begin or continue a course if the officer of instruction in charge considers him or her unqualified by lack of preparation. Late registration may not be used to justify inadequate performance in a course.
(B) In the Santa Barbara division an instructor's refusal to permit a student to begin or continue a course may be challenged by the student on grounds that such refusal arises from discrimination on political grounds, or for reasons of race, religion, sex, ethnic origin, or for other arbitrary or personal reasons. The procedure for the initiation of such a challenge is set forth in regulation A25. However, the only final recommendations and decisions to be made by the officers and the committees therein specified shall be to deny or authorize the student's entry into or continuation in the course concerned.

The University recognizes drug and alcohol dependency as treatable conditions and offers educational and counseling assistance to employees and students to aid them in dealing with problems associated with substance abuse. Employees and students, however, are prohibited from the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance and/or alcohol in the workplace, on University premises, at University activities, or on University business.
In addition, employees and students shall not use illegal or abuse legal substances in a manner which impairs job performance, scholarly activities, or student life.
Employees directly or indirectly involved in work on or for a Federal grant or contract are required as a condition of employment on the grant or contract, to notify the University within five (5) calendar days if they are convicted of any criminal drug statute violation for activity occurring at the workplace, at the location of any grant/contract activity, or while on University business.
UCSB is committed to achieving and maintaining a worksite and campus community that is free from the problems of substance abuse and dependency. The purpose of this policy is to help provide a safe and secure environment for work and study and to inform employees and students of the health risks and legal sanctions associated with substance abuse.
Confidential information. Confidential information is defined as medical records regarding the identity of the individual, the diagnosis or treatment of drug or alcohol abuse, or records indicating referral to a drug or alcohol abuse program. This information is subject to protection under Federal and State laws and may not be disclosed without specific authorization by the employee or student, or where authorized or required pursuant to Federal or State laws and regulations.
Conviction. The term "conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo contendere) or imposition of sentence, or both, by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to determine violation of Federal or State criminal drug statutes.
Employee. For the purposes of these procedures, an employee is any person holding a University staff or academic appointment, including student, casual, temporary and contract employees on appointment.
Health Risks. Substance abuse may result in a wide spectrum of extremely serious health problems. Acute problems include heart attack, stroke and sudden death, which, in the case of some drugs such as cocaine, can occur after first-time usage. Long-lasting effects of drugs and alcohol may include disruption of normal heart rhythm, high blood pressure, leaks of blood vessels in the brain, bleeding and destruction of brain cells and permanent memory loss, infertility, impotency, immune system impairment, kidney failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and pulmonary damage. Drug use during pregnancy may result in fetal damage and birth defects causing hyperactivity, neurological abnormalities and developmental difficulties.
Legal Sanctions. There are numerous federal, state and local statutes and ordinances relating to the manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance or alcohol. See below for a summary of some of these laws.
Student. According to Campus Regulations Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students, a student is a person who is currently enrolled at the University, or, during a recess period between quarters or the summer period, one who has completed the immediately preceding term and is eligible for re-enrollment. If students are employed by the University, they are covered by those provisions applying to employees and those provisions applying to students.
Substances. The term "substances" includes both illegal and legal substances:
1. Illegal substances are controlled substances listed in the Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and further defined by regulations (21 CFR 1308), which are obtained illegally. A list of controlled substances is available in Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP), Student Health Service-Alcohol/Drug Awareness Program, and Human Resources-Labor and Employee Relations.
2. Legal substances are:
(a) Alcoholic beverages,
(b) Controlled substances as listed in the Federal Controlled Substances Act, that are prescribed or administered by a licensed physician or health-care professional, or purchased and used in accordance with Business and Finance Bulletin 50 - Acquisition and Use of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs for approved scientific research,
(c) Over-the-counter drugs/products.

Coverage
All UCSB employees and students are covered by the provisions of this Policy and Procedure.
Notification
UCSB shall provide informational materials and/or programs on substance abuse on an on-going basis, and shall annually distribute copies of this Policy to all employees and students. In addition, a copy shall be given to each new employee hired and each new student registered after the annual distribution.
Counseling and Rehabilitation
1. Employees and students are encouraged to voluntarily seek assistance for substance abuse/dependency problems. Supervisors may also refer individuals with substance abuse problems to campus counseling services.
2. UCSB offers assistance to employees and students in obtaining treatment and counseling for substance abuse problems through the following programs:
(a) Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) counselors are available to employees to aid them in identifying community treatment programs.
(b) Student Health Service Alcohol/Drug Awareness Program counselors and Counseling and Career Services (CCS) counselors are available to students for short-term counseling and referral.

Employee Job Performance and Substance Abuse
1. Employees are encouraged to seek assistance for drug- and alcohol-related problems and may request leaves of absence for this purpose, in addition to using approved vacation or sick leave, or attending employee support programs outside regular work hours.
2. When an employee's job performance appears impaired due to the use of an illegal substance or the abuse of a legal substance, including alcohol, the supervisor is obligated to take appropriate action to address the problem. Supervisors are encouraged to seek assistance from their department head, Human Resources-Labor and Employee Relations, Academic Personnel, or Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP). Appropriate action is determined on a case-by case basis and may include, but is not limited to supervisory referral to ASAP, corrective action, or UCSB Police Department intervention.
3. Employees found to be in violation of this Policy or the University Policy on Substance Abuse may be subject to corrective action up to and including dismissal in accordance with the applicable Personnel policies and procedures, collective bargaining agreements, or Academic Senate policies and procedures. In addition to or in lieu of corrective action an employee may be required to participate in an approved counseling or treatment program. Attendance in counseling or treatment programs does not relieve an employee from the obligation to maintain acceptable work standards nor should it delay appropriate corrective action.
Employees Directly or Indirectly Involved in Work on or for a Federal Grant or Contract
If an employee is involved in work on a Federal grant or contract and is convicted of any criminal drug statute violation for activity occurring in the workplace or while on University business, the following provisions apply. The following also applies to any employee not directly funded by the contract or grant but who provides significant supportive or overhead work for the grant or contract.
1. The employee must notify his/her supervisor within five (5) calendar days of the conviction. Failure by an employee to report a conviction within five (5) calendar days may result in corrective action, up to and including dismissal.
2. A supervisor who is notified by the employee or who learns through other reliable means that an employee has been convicted, must immediately (same day, if feasible) report the conviction to the UCSB Office of Research Development and Administration (ORDA). (Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988, Public Law 100-690, Title V, Subtitle D).
3. ORDA will in turn report the conviction to the Federal agency administering the contract or grant within ten (10) calendar days of receiving notice of a conviction. ORDA will provide written notice of the conviction, including the I.D. number of each grant and the position title of the employee, to every grant officer on whose grant the employee was working.
4. The employing department is required by law to take one of the following actions within thirty (30) days of notification of the conviction:
(a) Taking appropriate personnel action, up to and including termination, or
(b) Requiring the employee to participate satisfactorily in a substance abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for such purposes by a Federal, State, or local health, law enforcement, or other appropriate agency.
Students and Substance Abuse
1. All students are encouraged to seek assistance for drug and alcohol related problems from counseling or treatment programs.
2. All students engaged in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance and/or alcohol on University properties or at official University functions are subject to the University discipline provisions of the Campus Regulations Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students. Students found guilty of violating the University Policy on Substance Abuse or the UCSB Policy and Procedure are subject to disciplinary sanctions which may include loss of privileges and exclusion from activities, a letter of warning, suspension or dismissal. In addition to or in lieu of corrective action, a student may be required to participate in an approved counseling or treatment program.
Record Keeping
Departmental offices responsible for providing substance abuse-related educational programs or materials should maintain records of the programs/materials offered, the targeted groups, number of participants, and method of distribution, for biennial Federal audits of UCSB's efforts to create a drug-free environment.
Information about the documents used as references for this policy are available at Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP), Student Health Service-Alcohol/Drug Awareness Program, and Human Resources-Labor and Employee Relations.

The primary mission of UC Santa Barbara Intercollegiate Athletics is to provide an opportunity for widespread participation in intercollegiate athletics and to enhance the student-athlete's education through competition at the Division I intercollegiate level. Because it demands the successful integration of intercollegiate competition with an academic program, the educational experience of student-athlete is unique.
In addition, Intercollegiate Athletics is intended to foster a sense of community among faculty, staff, and students on campus and to help provide a reason for friends, alumni, and supporters in the local area and throughout the state to feel a part of UCSB.
The university expects its Intercollegiate Athletics program to provide competitive opportunities for both men and women in a variety of sports.
Intercollegiate Athletics at UCSB is based upon an educational model, not upon a business model. The Intercollegiate Athletics program does not seek to make a profit from its athletic events, but does seek to generate a considerable portion of the revenue necessary to support itself at a level of excellence consistent with the university's standards.
UCSB places the highest priority on the academic progress of student-athletes and provides support systems to assist them in completing their degrees.
The primary mission of UCSB is teaching, research, and service. Associated with this is the development of the full potential of our students in both academic and non-academic settings. The Intercollegiate Athletics program plays a major role in achieving this goal.
The Intercollegiate Athletics program at UCSB is bound by the policies and procedures of the NCAA and the rules of any conference, league, or association of which it is a member.
