RESIDENCY question

<p>I attended and graduated from a HS in NYS. Do I qualify for in state tuition at the ILR, Human Ecology, and the CALS school?</p>

<p>However I have lived in Georgia for most of my life, it's just that I went to HS in NY.</p>

<p>I doubt it, you have to be currently living in NY to qualify.</p>

<p>Where do your parents live?</p>

<p>That’s the thing… </p>

<p>My parents and I live in Georgia, but I went to a boarding school for four years in NY and graduated from there as well.</p>

<p>I read something about these three students from out of state who qualified for in-state fees at SUNY and also about a person named Don Sims from Cornell’s Human Ecology school who tried the same thing. According to New York State Education Law, Section 355(2)(h)(8) </p>

<p>Not trying to sound all lawyer-like, but the law basically states:</p>

<p>charge out-of-state residents the same tuition as New Yorkers if they meet certain criteria: among them are graduating from a New York State high school that they attended for at least two years and applying to a school within five years after graduation.</p>

<p>A private school is not considered a “New York State high school”. Also you can’t technically live there unless your parents live there or you’re an emancipated minor, otherwise you weren’t paying New York taxes and you weren’t a resident.</p>

<p>Yeah, I <em>think</em> they’re talking about border-state residents who for some reason attended a public school in NYS, but it’s worth looking into all the definitions in that law and see how a “New York State high school” is defined in that section of the code.</p>
