Corning Community College Certificate of Residence Policy. A certificate of residence qualifies students to pay the in-state tuition CCC Tuition rate. To qualify for the in-state tuition rate, students must submit a Certificate of Residence issued by the county in which they reside. Without a Certificate of Residence, the out of state tuition is charged. To qualify for a Certificate of Residence, students must have lived in New York State for the past 12 months. Residency is verified by the county in which they have lived for the six months prior to attending the college. If they have lived in more than one county during those six months, verification from each county will be required. If a student moves to New York State from another state specifically to attend college, he/she does not qualify for the in-state tuition rate. An application for the Certificate of Residence will be sent by the college at the appropriate time. Since each county follows its own procedures for issuing certificates, follow the procedures for the appropriate county as outlined on the back of the application form. On campus, Certificates may be completed in Student Administrative services. Note: the Certification is valid for one academic year; a new certificate is required for each academic year of attendance.
