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.
