Chief fiscal officers of each county must issue certificates of residence to individuals applying to enroll in CUNY community colleges as non-resident students upon submission of satisfactory evidence.

Certificates of residence must be issued not earlier than two months prior to each college year and remain valid for one year from the date of issuance.

Non-resident students must file a valid certificate of residence form with the college upon registration for each college year.

If a county's chief fiscal officer refuses to issue a certificate, the applicant may appeal to the CUNY chancellor, who shall make a final and binding determination after a hearing with ten days' notice to the county.
