California residency question

[sherpa]

I’m asking on behalf of a relative: If a student is attending a UC as an instate resident, is their residency status affected if the parents move out of state? I assume they’re fine, but I don’t know the specific rules. Thanks

It seems that as long as the student is continuously enrolled on a full-time basis, CA residence continues.

Page 23:

A minor student whose parent moves from California to establish residence elsewhere will be entitled to a resident classification if s/he remains behind and enrolls full time in a post-secondary institution within one year of the date that the parent establishes their new residence. The student’s resident classification will continue as long as s/he maintains continuous full-time attendance at the postsecondary institution. Financial independence will not be required.
