If you live in a New York State county other than Rockland, a new Certificate of Residency must be submitted each year. Certificates of Residency may be issued 60 days prior to each academic period and up to 30 days after the beginning of each period. Some counties have strict deadlines so early contact is critical. Certificates obtained 30 days after the beginning of the academic period will be applied for the succeeding period.
You must request and receive your Certificate of Residency from the Treasurer’s Office in your home county. Avoid being billed for out-of-state tuition by timely providing a Certificate of Residency to Student Accounts.
If you have any questions in obtaining a Certificate of Residency please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 845-574-4254.
Appeal Information
If a SUNY community college student is denied a certificate of residence from their home county, such student may appeal to SUNY System Administration for reversal. Such appeal communication should contain the student’s contact information and details about the denial from the county. Please note that denials can only be reversed if either the county or the college made an error or did not follow relevant legal requirements.
Students can submit appeals by email to [email protected].
