6. The UC residence regulations require that you and your parent(s), if they claim California residency, prove: 1) At least 366 days of physical presence in California with 2) concurrent intent to permanently remain in the state. If you are an undergraduate under the age of 24 and are not dependent upon California-resident parent(s), 3) you must be able to confirm financial independence for two full years immediately preceding the term you wish to enroll.
Note it states you and your parents need to live in CA for 366 days.
OP, please show this thread to your parents. They may want to make some changes to insure your residency status. Planning and discussion now may lead to shrewd choices -- please don't just hope for the best and then find out later that ignorance was expensive.
