SIR. See Residency for Tuition Purposes for more details.

- I will not be living in the dorms. Do I still need to submit the SLR?
-
Yes. The SLR is to determine your residency for tuition purposes. It is not related
to your choice to live or not live in the residence halls.
- I am a resident because I’ve lived here all my life. Do I still need to fill out the
form?
-
Yes. Every student must submit the online SLR, regardless of where you have lived
or how long you have been in California. The only exception to this is if you log
in to your MyUCR account, click the “Statement of Legal Residency” link and see the
California bear flag badge. If you see this, you do not need to complete the form
as you have already answered the required questions on the UC admissions application.
- The Office of Admissions already declared me a resident. Do I still need to submit
the SLR?
-
Yes. The Office of Admissions’ determination only pertains to your GPA and test scores,
not to Residency for Tuition Purposes.
- I have F1 visa status. Am I eligible for resident tuition?

No. An F1 visa is a student visa and is only valid for a specific reason and for a
specific amount of time. This prohibits an F1 visa holder from establishing Residency for Tuition Purposes. For more information, please contact the International Education Center.
- I was considered a resident at my community college. Does that mean I’m a resident
at UCR
-
No. Some students transferring from community colleges may receive a different classification
at UCR. Most often it is because their parents are from out of state and do not meet
UC requirements for financial independence. See Residency for Tuition Purposes for more information.
- What happens if I don’t fill out the SLR?
-
You will be classified “undetermined” and automatically charged the higher, non-resident
tuition rate.
- I live in the dorms. Am I a resident?
-
Not necessarily. Please see Residency for Tuition Purposes for more information.
- What is “Residency for Tuition and Fee Purposes”?
-
Your residency status (whether you are a California resident or not) is dependent
on whether your tuition and fees will be charged at a California-resident or nonresident
rate. Our campus residence affairs officer determines that status based on information
you provide in your Statement of Legal Residence. See Residency for Tuition and Fee Purposes for more details.
- What is the Statement of Legal Residence (SLR)?
-
The SLR is how you declare your residency status when you first come to UCR (as a
freshman, transfer or graduate student) or when you return after a significant break
(longer than three quarters). You submit it along with your Statement of Intent to
Register.
Additional documentation may be required to prove your status. You have until the
end of the applicable term to provide it. Freshmen and transfer students who have
submitted their Statement of Intent to Register will be able to access the SLR via
their MyUCR account. Graduate students will receive a packet from Graduate Admissions.
See Residency for Tuition and Fee Purposes for more details.

Shop (HOSS) on the first floor of the Student Services Building. Office hours are
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- My residency was classified incorrectly, what do I do?
-
If your resident status was classified incorrectly, you must immediately notify the
campus residence affairs officer (reshelp@ucr.edu). If you were incorrectly classified as a resident, you are subject to nonresident
tuition. If you concealed or gave false information, you may be subject to university
discipline.

-
Students denied resident status might have the right to appeal. Appeals must be filed
within 30 days of notification of the campus residence affairs officer’s decision.

- Am I eligible for the AB540 nonresident tuition exemption?
-
Domestic students who, for various reasons, are classified as nonresidents, as well
as undocumented students, may be eligible. An example of a potentially eligible nonresident
domestic student is one who attended a California high school for three or more years
and graduated from one, but parents did not live in California or later moved away.
Students who met in-state criteria and then established residency in another state,
but are now returning to California to pursue a graduate degree, may also be eligible
for the tuition exemption. The exemption applies to both undergraduate and graduate
students.
Graduate students must provide an official high school transcript to the Registrar’s
Office. Undergraduate (freshman and transfer) students may provide an official high
school transcript as well; however, we will attempt to obtain a copy of it from Undergraduate
Admissions.
Most importantly, all students must complete their SLR (Statement of Legal Residence)
online before sending us any documents.
- What is considered a “business day”?
-
Any day our office is open for business is considered a business day. Non-business
days are Saturday and Sunday, holidays and administrative closure dates. Enrollment
verifications take five to seven business days to process.
- Can I request a preferred name?
-
Yes, you can submit a preferred first name and/or middle name through R'Web under
Personal Information. Learn more.
- How do I calculate my GPA?
-
First, calculate grade points by multiplying the value (V) of an assigned grade by
the unit value (UV) of the course (grade points = V x UV). The grade point average
(GPA) requires two sums: the sum of all the grade points earned for the term you are
calculating (quarter points [QPTS]) and the sum of all the letter-graded units attempted
during the term (quarter hours [QHRS]). To determine the GPA, divide the quarter points
by the quarter hours (GPA= QPTS/ QHRS).

- Who do I talk to about FERPA?
-
Contact UCR’s FERPA Compliance Officer at (951) 827-3427.
- How do I change my FERPA privacy?
-
Please see Disclosure Policies.
- How do I change my directory information?
-
Please see Disclosure Policies.
- How do I make my information private?
-
Please see Disclosure Policies.
- How can I get a copy of my student's grades?
-
Your student can give that information directly (e.g. print or email you a copy of
their records) or they can set you up as an “authorized user” on their R'Web account. See How.
- If I'm paying for my child's education, why can't I get a copy of his records
-
According to FERPA, a student’s records do not belong to the person paying for the
student’s education – they belong to the student. Information is only shared with
the student’s consent, in a health or safety emergency or pursuant to another FERPA
exception. Your child may grant you permission to access their records in many ways.
Please see our Disclosure Policies for details.
- Can you email me a transcript?
-
We never release confidential information over the phone or by email. See our Request a Transcript page for ways to obtain one.
- What records can authorized users see in R'Web?
-
Students can tailor what is seen by selecting the appropriate areas of self-service
at the time the authorized user account is being created. This includes granting permission
to speak with Financial Aid, Housing and/or Student Business Services about their
account. Students must also give access to CashNET for access to view and pay the
bill.
- Does UCR have a blanket release form?
-
UCR does not have a blanket release form covering the release of all student information
to you. Release forms are generally very specific and students may be required to
fill out department-specific authorization forms each time they request information be shared with you.
- Can I access my student’s medical and/or counseling records?
-
Not necessarily, unless it is an emergency. However, your student may be able to grant
you access via specific release forms. Questions about medical records should be directed
to the Campus Health Center and questions about counseling records should be directed
to the Counseling Center.
