Appeals
If you are classified as a nonresident at the campus level, you can appeal the decision. All appeals are handled by the UC Residency Appeals Office, not by the campus. To appeal, you must:
- Complete the Appeal Application (PDF).
- Submit the completed application with a copy of your nonresident letter to the Residency Appeals Office within 30 days of your nonresident decision.
The Residency Appeals Office will contact you upon receipt of your documents. Note: UC Berkeley’s Residence Affairs Unit will not have information about your appeal. Be aware that if you received a nonresident classification, it is unlikely that the decision can be reversed on appeal. You may submit the Appeal Application and a copy of your nonresident letter via email or fax:
- Email: residency.appeal@ucop.edu
- Fax: (510) 987-9981
Note: Appeals can take an estimated ten to twelve weeks to be processed by the Residency Appeals Office. Address all your questions regarding appeals to the Residency Appeals Office.
Incorrect Classification
- If incorrectly classified as a resident, you are subject to reclassification and payment of all nonresident supplemental tuition not paid.
- If you concealed information or furnished false information and were incorrectly classified as a result, you may be deferred to the Center for Student Conduct, and disciplinary action may result.
- Any resident student who becomes a nonresident must immediately notify the Residence Affairs Unit.
