I am currently a senior living in Iowa. I’ll be going to college Fall 2019. My parents are planning on moving to New York this week so around Aug. 6-12 2018. The two colleges I am looking at start classes around the 25th of August. I am already about to submit my common application to both colleges, I just need to get my high school transcript from my counselor. Once we move say Aug. 12, will we be considered New York residents in one year since that is what it said online? I will submit my application in late August with my transcript and all that. My question is basically even if I submit my application as an out of state resident, will I be considered in-state by the time an year passes?
So you are moving to NY and finishing your senior year in NY?
I assume that you are applying to SUNY or CUNY schools, otherwise in state is irrelevant.
See this page for the residency for SUNY schools
Will you be graduating from a NY high school, or are you staying in Iowa?
@sybbie719 probably can answer your question.
@svlab112 Yes! I just did some more research and it says there are residency applications available on every New York college website. The application deadlines are different for each college.
@TomSrOfBoston Yes I am specifically looking at SUNY Binghamton or Stony Brook
@thumper1 Yes I will be finishing my high school in NY
Your best bet would be to wait until you actually move to NY. Are you moving to NYC or somewhere else in the state. You want your transcript to come from a school within the state, it will just make the process smoother. Right now you would be considered an OOS student, I addition the SUNY application, will have stuff that needs to be filled out by your counselor, school information and type of diploma you will be graduating with . Since you are not here and your transcript has not been evaluated, you do not know those things.
If you are changing schools then the transcript and guidance counselor report should come from the school you will be attending senior year. There are mid-year reports needed at some schools, as well as final transcript to the school you will attend. This might be easier (plus the in-state question will be addressed) if coming from your new school in NY.
When is your family actually moving to NY? School starts ver soon (less than 2 weeks). You need to be here like now, so that you can have your one year in before the first day of class
Do SUNYs consider a Student instate if they graduate from a NY high school?
Mmm, not really. If he’s moving to the NY metro area, school starts in about four weeks. After Labor Day.
In any event, I would say wait on sending your SUNY applications. Make sure you use your NY address. Get to know your new guidance counselor immediately. In fact, if you already have the name, email that person now.
NY metro public school K-12 (3k/PreK4All) starts after labor day.
CUNY/SUNY starts at the end of august. His physical presence for instate tuition needs to be 12 months before the first day of ** college** which is late august…
CUNY Starts on August 27

I’ll give you Old Westbury, whose first day of class if September 4, but they are more of the exception.
We strongly advise students not to mess up senior year to make sure that they graduate in June and try to avoid summer school (especially for a regents exams) because going to summer school can jeopardize your starting college , because you most likely won’t be a HS grad in time for the first day of college.
In NYC metro, the last instructional day for summer school is on Wednesday, August 16. The August regents exams are held on August 17/18.
Even with regents grading taking place starting Thursday afternoon and happening over the weekend, transcripts are not updated until the week of the 20th.
During this time NYCDOE is virtually a ghost town because it the last opportunity to take vacation before the administrative first day of school (this year August 27). Even if the student passes coursework and exams, there are pretty much no staff members in school to discharge them as a graduate.
GCs/Pupil Personnel secretaries (the people who certify them as grads/update them and discharge them from the DOE) are not required to be back to school until after labor day (college has already started). Students must be discharged as graduates and come off your register so that their transcripts can indicate that they are grads.
Op will automatically be flagged during the financial aid process especially with prior/prior when 2017 tax information will have have the Iowa address.
You are not automatically considered in-state if you graduate from a NYS high school (Many SUNYs require 2 years of attendance at NYS high school). Remember you must submit transcripts from all schools. If op attends NYC public school, his NYC high school transcript will indicate 3 years of transfer credit with a grade of CR/NC.
I know that colleges begin the end of August. But I think this young person is entering his/her senior year of high school, and the question was whether the student will be moving to NY in time for first day of school. It would be a striking exception for any school in or around NYC to start before Labor Day. Upstate there may be districts that start the week before LD, but not mid-August as they do in the south and west.
Anyone remember when NYC public schools started the MONDAY after Labor Day – a full week afterward? That was the tradition. And we ended usually the last Friday in June. It was crazy, but that was all we knew back then.
Family must be physically living in NYS 12 months before the first day of college (even if s/he is not yet enrolled in high school in NY).
We now start earlier in NYC, because there are now more holidays on the calendar and we must still get all of the mandated instructional days in. For 2019-2019.
NYC HS starts on September 5 and ends on June 26 (administrators/GCs/School secretaries work until June 28). It is a shake your head moment, because students start Wednesday after labor day, in school Wednesday-Friday, then school is closed the following Monday and Tuesday. Already talking about how some students are probably not coming to school until September 12.
If the student is in NY now, they can do the enrollment process now and just start school on the first day of class.
At the NYCDOE there are no “over the counter” admissions, where you go to the school and register. You must go to the office of enrollment (family welcome center), with parent child, transcripts, report card and all of the other information needed to enroll in school.
Student is assigned to a school if it is a zoned or unscreened program.
If there Op was looking at a screened school, they would be given a referral speak with the Principal/Ap other staff working over the summer who would review transcripts and make the decision as to whether or not to admit the student.
One of the challenges is that student will have to meet all of the NYS graduation requirements (regent exams, credit accumulation, etc)
Two issues: starting senior year on time and being an official resident for 12 months before the college start date.
So, why is OP “already about to submit my common application to both colleges” if he’s apparently a hs senior?
Ah, that makes sense. So the OP would have to move to NY before the first day of college, even though he is still in HS. Classes begin August 22 at Binghamton, August 27 at Stony Brook.
Yeah, I know NYC public school begins the Wednesday after LD now. They still end later than any school system in the country.
@lookingforward because the common app opened for Fall 2019 already.
This student needs to reside in NY state 12 months before he enrolled in COLLEGE.
So…he needs to make the move so that he will be living in NY state at least 12 months before college starts…and that is soon. He said he is moving this week. So hoping that happened.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter what date his high school starts in terms of establishing residency for instate tuition purposes. @sybbie719 right?
However, sooner the betterin terms of that move for a HS senior!
