To complete the
Statement of Legal Residence form online, please visit the Office of the Registrar's webpage. For further information, contact the Residence Officer John Lapuz at (949) 824-6129 or
jlapuz@uci.edu.
The Statement of Legal Residence (SLR) is an important step used to make a determination of residence classification for tuition fee purposes. All students are required to file a SLR form with the Office of the Registrar regardless of whether the student expects to be classified as a California resident or not.
It is very important to complete your SLR in a timely manner. Your fees and tuition amounts are determined on the basis of your SLR information. Therefore, you can not enroll in classes before your SLR is completed, received and processed by the University.
The Residence Officer at UCI sends out an e-mail to all admitted students who also indicated, via their Statement of Intent to Register (
SIR), that they accept the admission offer. This e-mail note requests that you complete and submit your SLR online and provides you with both your UCI Student ID Number and your "Application ID Number" that you will need to enter to complete the SLR online. Please note that the "Application Number" is different than your "Electronic Application ID Number," so be sure to use the Application ID Number you receive in the e-mail regarding SLR. Also, please be sure that you submit your completed
SIR as soon as you have made your decision, because the Residence Deputy can not send your information about SLR completion until after your SIR has been received and processed.
