Certificate of Residency
In New York State, Out of New York City Tuition
If you reside in New York State, but not in New York City, you may be eligible for the CUNY In-City Tuition Rate. The In-City Tuition Rate is considerably lower than the Non-City Resident Tuition Rate.
Obtain a Certificate of Residence:
- Go to the website of the county where you live.
- Find the Application for a Certificate of Residence.
- Download the County Instructions and Application.
- Complete the request for a Certificate of Residence.
- You may need to have the application notarized. This depends on the county and specific circumstances. Check with your county.
- Present the request, plus two items of proof of residence, to your local county clerk. The clerk will issue you a Certificate of Residence.
Get it to the Bursar’s Office
Bring or mail the Certificate issued by the county clerk to the Guttman Bursar’s Office (Room 311) or scan and send it to bursar@guttman.cuny.edu prior to the semester.
It’s your responsibility to ensure that a valid Certificate of Residence is on file at Guttman Community College before the first day of classes for us to adjust your tuition charges. If you don’t yet have the certificate, please contact the Office of the Bursar to make payment arrangements.
A Certificate of Residence remains valid for one year or as stipulated by the county.
