Certificate of Residency Deadline is Approaching

Permanent residents of NYS are required to obtain and submit a certificate of residency annually to qualify for the in-state rate of tuition. The certificate must be obtained no later than September 27th. If you see a charge on your student's account for "Certif of Residence Required," your student must obtain and submit this certificate. This is the only way to remove this charge.

Permanent residents of Herkimer County can submit the notarized Affidavit of Residence that is mailed with the bill and available here. Students from all other NYS counties must complete a notarized Application for a Certificate of Residence and submit to their county's Treasurer's Office with proofs of residence. The county will then issue a Certificate of Residence which they need to provide to the Student Accounts Office. Upon receipt of the Certificate of Residence, the Student Accounts Office will remove the charge for "Certif of Residence Required."
