The Physics Department encourages all out-of-state students to take steps toward establishing CA residency as soon as they arrive.
The Department pays the first year of Non-Resident Student Tuition (NRST);
Academic Student Employment (ASE) jobs, like Teaching Assistant (TA) and Graduate Student Research (GSR) do not cover NRST.
Establishing CA residency is needed to avoid being assessed for NRST in subsequent years.
