Certificate of Residence
Have you officially resided in New York State but outside of Onondaga County in the past year? You may be able to reduce your tuition by submitting a Certificate of Residence issued by the Chief Financial Officer of your home county upon registration. Once on file with the Bursar's Office, the certificate will be valid through the academic year.
- Certificates must be dated after July 1 and are effective through the following academic year.
- A new certificate is required for each academic year.
Certificate of Residence Instructions:
- Complete the Certificate of Residence Affidavit and Application, and have it notarized in your county. (Download PDF file)
- Submit the application to the Chief Fiscal Officer of your county, usually your County Treasurer. If necessary, the office can assist you with completing and notarizing the application. You will be issued a Certificate of Residence.
- Send to the Onondaga Community College Bursar's Office before registering, or bring it with you upon registration.
- Re-submit a certificate, dated after July 1, at the beginning of each academic year.
Please Note: County residents of Cayuga, Nassau, Orange, Saratoga, Suffolk, Wayne, Westchester, or New York City must complete a different application. These are available at the Onondaga Bursar's Office.
