New York State Residency: The Student Records and Financial Services Office will determine New York State residency per SUNY guidelines. If NYS residency status is in question, the student will be charged out-of-state tuition until the student provides proof of NYS residency. Forms are available in the Student Records and Financial Services Office and online.

Certain nonresident students may be eligible for the resident tuition rate if they meet the following requirements:

1. Are not non-immigrant aliens within the meaning of 8 USC §1101(a)(15), and

3. Attended an approved New York State program for a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) exam preparation, received a GED and applied for admission to the university within five years of receiving the GED; and
4. If the student is without lawful immigration status, the student submits to the campus a notarized affidavit stating that the student has filed an application to legalize his or her immigration status, or will file such an application as soon as he or she is eligible to do so (See NYS Education Law §355(h) (8)).
5. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces while on full-time active duty and stationed within New York State, as well as their dependents and spouse.
6. Dependents of full-time active duty personnel who are stationed outside New York State qualify for resident tuition if the service member's "Home of Record" is New York. 
7. Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements for educational assistance under federal GI bills, even if the individual is not actually receiving or using such benefits, as well as their dependents and spouse. 
   1. In order to prove veteran status, a student must provide U.S. Department of Defense Form DD214 or a Certificate of Eligibility from the U.S. Department of Defense or the Veterans Administration.
