			 whose parents have moved to this state for a reason other than the student's
			 enrollment. The residency period may be reduced to the preceding six months in
			 the case of an independent student who moved to this state for a purpose other
			 than education:

			 student whose Oregon domiciled parent(s) move out-of-state shall retain
			 resident classification as long as the student is continuously enrolled at an
			 Oregon high school or Oregon postsecondary institution. Continuous enrollment
			 is defined as completion of an academic year within any 12-month period;
