NEW YORK STATE RESIDENCY

You may be considered a New York State resident for tuition purposes if you meet the following conditions:

  1. You attest to the fact that you are a New York state resident on your admissions application.
  2. You must live in the state of New York for one year and are considered to be a domiciled resident.
Living in the state of New York alone does not meet the residency requirement.
The following are used to establish domicile:

  • Duration of physical presence in NY
  • State of residency of the student's family
  • NY state voter registration
  • NY state driver's license
  • NY state motor vehicle registration
  • NY state real property ownership
  • NY state residential rental lease
  • NY state income tax returns

The New York State Residency application is available in the Forms Center of MyESC.
