A Certificate Of Residence

[Carlee Members]

Allstudents are initially charged out-of-state tuition when they register for classes with TC3. The Certificate of Residence proves you are a New York state resident and is required to qualify for reduced in-state tuition to be paid out by your home county.

In order to qualify, you must prove you have lived in New York state for 12 months prior to registration and in the county you are applying to for at least six months. If you lived in more than one county in the past six months, you will need certificates from each county.

If you are a dependent student, you must apply in the county in which your parents reside. You can apply for the certificate of residence between the period two months prior to their Registration date and 30 days after the first day of class. However it is in your best interest to provide the certificate before classes start. If we do not receive your Certificate of Residence, you will be responsible for paying the non-resident portion of your tuition out of pocket. Certificates of Residency must be renewed annually.

Follow your county's specific instructions and either mail, deliver, or fax the application with required proof of residence to your county. We do not process applications here at TC3. Applications will be returned to students by mail.

Because you are not a permanent resident of Erie County, you are being billed non-resident tuition charges. You are required to provide the college with a Certificate of Residence from your home County each year, to be charged the single tuition rate. The Certificate of Residency allows SUNY Erie to bill your home County for the non-resident charges and allows you to pay the single tuition rate.

It is your responsibility to complete an application for a Certificate of Residency and submit it to your home County Treasurer/Finance department for processing. Requirements vary by county, please contact your home County, or visit their website for specific information on obtaining a Certificate of Residency and the application process. Links for each county are available here.

Some Counties will send the Certificate of Residency to the college, others will give it to the student. It is up to the student to ensure the SUNY Erie Bursar Office receives the certificate on time.

Students may apply for the Certificate of Residency any time between two months prior to their registration date and 30 days after the start of classes. Certificates must be submitted to the SUNY Erie Bursar Office no later than 30 days after the start of classes. Students will be liable for the non-resident charges if the certificate is not submitted by the deadline. Certificates received late cannot be processed until your County accepts a billing from the college. Any monies due, if applicable, will not be refunded until then.

If you have resided in NYS for 1 year and have been a permanent resident of Erie County for at least six months prior to the start of the semester, please contact the SUNY Erie Bursar Office for instructions on establishing residency. NOTE: The affidavit/application for obtaining the Certificate of Residence cannot be used to prove Erie County residency.

DO NOT SEND THE COMPLETED APPLICATION TO THE COLLEGE. It must be submitted to your home county; they will process the application and then will provide you with an approved Certificate of Residence.

Students living in Onondaga County solely for the purpose of attending college are not considered permanent residents of Onondaga County. Generally, the legal residence of a college student under the age of 24 is presumed to be the residence of the parent, guardian, or any other permanent residence prior to the student's enrollment at the College; unless the student can provide documentation that they are financially independent or have been deemed an independent student by our Financial Aid office.

d) It is the responsibility of the student to get the Certificate of Residence to his/her respective Community College(s). For all certificates that are e-mailed to the student, the student can typically forward that e-mail to their community college.

b) Certificates are issued no earlier than sixty days (60) prior to the start of the semester and no later than the deadline dates mentioned above. However, if you are taking a course during a mini-session or a course that begins after the start of the semester, your application must be submitted within five days of the start of the course.

The Large Business Service accepts requests for CoRs earlier than the end of the accounting period, as a large number of companies accounting periods end in December. For example, a request made in November for an accounting period ending in December, will lead to the creation of the certificate in January. This is known as a pre-order.

If you live in Schenectady County, please complete the form contained in this link and bring it to the SUNY Schenectady Student Business Office, Elston Hall, Welcome Center with back up documentation for approval - Affirmation of Schenectady County Residence.

For tuition purposes, New York residency means that you have lived in this state as a permanent resident for 12 months prior to the start of the semester. If you have not lived in New York State for 12 consecutive months, contact the Business Office as soon as possible. New York State Education Law 6305 requires the college to have a current certificate of residence on record for your student account every academic year.

If you are a resident of New York and have resided in Chautauqua or Cattaraugus County for one year, no certificate of residence is required. View your bill to verify that it reflects the correct tuition rate.

Residents of Cattaraugus County who attend New York State community colleges may apply for a Certificate of Residence to obtain resident tuition rates.

Different forms of evidence can be combined to identify the student, their residential street address (post office boxes are not acceptable), One of the forms of evidence must always be a picture ID. However, if the picture ID states a different address than that on the Affidavit, another form of ID should be submitted to verify the applicant is a resident of the address on the affidavit. Only the following forms of ID can be accepted.

You are an out-of-county New York State resident if you have been a New York State resident for one year and have resided in a county other than Cayuga during the six months immediately preceding the start of classes. Your tuition bill will initially show the double tuition rate. You must obtain a Certificate of Residence and submit it with your payment. The Certificate of Residence must be signed by your County Treasurer. The Certificate of Residence must be dated within 60 days before the student course registration date and 30 days after the start of classes. A certificate obtained for the fall semester is valid through the following spring and summer sessions, provided enrollment is continuous. If you are an out-of-county resident, you must submit a certificate each academic year. The Certificate of Residence MUST be received within 30 days of the beginning of the students first class.

You are an out-of-state resident if you do not fall in either of the two previous categories or are residing in the United States on a student visa (F-1, J-1) or a work visa (B-1, B-2), regardless of the length of time you have resided here.

Nelnet will allow you to sign up for a payment plan. The first payment of the payment plan will be 50% of your bill, which is half of the double tuition. Signing up for a payment plan will maintain your registration status while you work on completing your certificate of residence with your county.

Please remember that you must obtain your certificate of residency from the county where you live. Cayuga Community College cannot provide you a certificate. As always, if you are having difficulty with the certificate of residency process, you can contact our Student Financial Services team for guidance. We can be reached at (315) 294-8470.

A Certificate of Residence is required for New York State residents who do not reside in Cayuga County. In the absence of a Certificate, the out-of-state tuition rate is charged. All out-of-state and out-of-country residents are charged double-tuition.

Application must be completed using the applicant's full legal name, no nicknames. ONE APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED FOR EACH COMMUNITY COLLEGE ATTENDING. Four Year SUNY Colleges or private colleges are not eligible. One Certificate of Residence will be issued for each approved college.
