N.Y. Education Law § 6222: Admission of non-residents of the city of New York to each community college of the city university

§ 6222. Admission of non-residents of the city of New York to each

community college of the city university. 1. In addition to admitting

residents of the city of New York, each city university community

college shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section, admit

non-residents of New York city as students.

2. (a) The methods and procedures for the admission of such

non-resident students to the city university of New York community

colleges shall be in accordance with the provisions of section

sixty-three hundred five of this title. Notwithstanding any inconsistent

provision of law, any reference contained in such section sixty-three

hundred five to the state university trustees or to the chancellor of

the state university of New York shall, for the purposes of this

section, be deemed to mean and refer to the board of trustees and the

chancellor of the city university of New York, respectively.

(b) Provided, further, in accordance with section six thousand three

hundred five of this title, the chief fiscal officer of each county, as

defined in section 2.00 of the local finance law, shall, upon

application and submission to him of satisfactory evidence, issue to any

person desiring to enroll in a community college as a non-resident

student, a certificate of residence form showing that said person is a

resident of said county. If the chief fiscal officer of a county refuses

to issue such a certificate on the ground that the person applying

therefor is not a resident of such county, the person applying may

appeal to the chancellor of the city university. The chancellor of the

city university shall make a determination after a hearing, upon ten

days' notice to such chief fiscal officer of the county, and such

determination shall be final and binding on the county. Such person

shall, upon his registration for each college year, file with the

college such a certificate of residence form issued not earlier than two

months prior thereto, and such certificate of residence form shall be

valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.

3. The city university board of trustees shall work in conjunction

with the state university board of trustees for the purposes of

examining the laws, regulations, and policies regarding community

college charges for non-resident students and submitting a report to the

legislature pursuant to subdivision eleven of section sixty-three

hundred five of this title.
