Filing a New York State Certificate of Residence
All students claiming residency in New York State must file with the Bursar's Office a Certificate of Residence once each academic year. The academic year begins with the fall semester and ends with the summer semester. Failure to file a valid certificate will result in the student being charged out-of-state (double) tuition charges.
Students claiming New York State Residency must provide proof that they have been residents of New York State for a period of one year immediately prior to the semester and must provide certificates for each county they have resided in for the last six months. The procedure for obtaining certificates is outlined below. Please note that it differs for students of Fulton-Montgomery counties and other New York counties
Students Who Are Residents of Fulton or Montgomery Counties
Complete the "Application for Certificate of Residence" form, have it notarized (several notaries are available on campus), and submit it to the Bursar's Office along with proof of your residency (driver's license, rent receipt, utility bill, etc.) prior to the time you register for your first semester of study in the academic year. It is the student's responsibility to obtain satisfactory proof of residency.
Students Who Reside in Other Counties in New York State
Complete the "Application of Certificate of Residence" form, have it notarized, and submit it along with proof of your residence to the County Treasurer of your home county. The treasurer will issue a Certificate of Residence, which must be filed with FMCC's Bursar's Office PRIOR to the time you register for each semester of study in the academic year.
Non-New York State Residents
If you have not been a permanent legal resident of New York State for the full year preceding registration, you must pay non-resident tuition.
