Certificate of Residence

• A Certificate of Residence verifies that you have been a New York State resident for one year prior to registration or the start of the semester. Certificate(s) also state your county(ies) of residence for the past six months. Students registering without a Certificate of Residence will be charged Out-Of-State (double) tuition.
• Certificates are valid when issued within 60 days prior to the start of classes and are valid for one year from the date of issue. Updated Certificates are required each year.
• If you are taking credit-bearing courses, Intro. to Computer (BOC738) or certain Job Training Courses (refer to course details), you must obtain a Certificate of Residence (required by New York State law).
