If it has been two or more semesters since you last attended Bronx Community College, you may need to re-establish your residency for tuition purposes. To qualify for in-city or state tuition, you must have lived in New York City or New York State for at least one year before the first day of classes in the semester for which you are applying. Students who need to provide proof of residency must complete the City University of New York Residency Form and submit the required documentation. Please refer to the Residency Checklist for a list of required documents. The corresponding semester date ranges are provided below. You can submit your complete application along with all supporting documents via Student Document Upload (PDF Instructions | Youtube Instructions) in CUNYfirst or by contacting residency@bcc.cuny.edu:

• Residency Checklist 
• City University of New York Residency Form 
• Alternate Lease Statement
• Veterans In-State Tuition Policy

For the required documents listed on the residency checklist, please ensure that all items in Section 2 are valid and show proof of address/residency for the relevant dates related to the semester for which you are applying.

All new students who wish to apply for New York City resident status must do so in the Office of Admission, Loew Hall [LO], Room 224.

If you reside in New York State but outside of the five boroughs of New York City, you will also need to submit a Certificate of Residency Form.

Undocumented and Out-of-State Student

A law provides in-state (resident) tuition benefits to certain undocumented students. You may qualify for the lower in-state tuition if you meet one of the following eligibility criteria:

1. You attended an approved New York State high school for two years and graduated from an approved New York State high school and applied for attendance at CUNY within five years of receiving a New York State high school diploma
2. You attended an approved New York State program for General Equivalency Diploma (GED) exam preparation, received a GED issued within New York State and applied for attendance at CUNY within five years of receiving a New York State General Equivalency Diploma
3. You were enrolled in CUNY in the Fall 2001 semester or quarter and were authorized by CUNY to pay tuition at the resident rate. Thus, a student who attended CUNY in the Fall 2001 semester and paid the resident rate does not have to satisfy either condition 1 or 2 above.

Nurses Service Organization (NSO) is prohibited from covering individuals who do not have legal status in the United States. The City University of New York cannot allow the admission of undocumented students into the clinical component of CUNY’s nursing programs.
