I’m not sure exactly how CY works (do you get a stipend and housing?), but to establish residency (for UC tuition purposes) you need to be financially independent throughout the two years you live in CA and your parents need to stop claiming you on their taxes as a dependent. You should also show intent of making CA your permanent home, so get a CA driver’s license, register to vote in CA, and pay CA income tax if you get a job.
