As soon as you move, you can register to vote. In fact, you can do that when you go get your license, if you’d like. They can do that for you at the DMV.

I think it’s possible to do it in a year. Your residency is based on your residency of when you plan on attending (Fall 2013). So if you move in July 2012, as of July 2013, you will be have fulfilled the 366 day requirement. Considering you’re not attending until September, the school should see that you met the requirement in July, two months before you plan to attend.

On a side note: After you’re accepted and you give the UC your SIR, they will also need an SLR (Statement of Legal Residence) where you will prove your CA residency with various items listed above. They use this as an assessment of how they will charge you for tuition (In/Out of State).

Its kind of tricky, I had a hard time figuring this out myself. After several calls and emails later, it happened. If you’re still not sure or would like some additional clarification, I would recommend calling a UC/CCC you’re planning on attending directly. :)
