Section 6222 - Admission of non-residents of the city of New York to each community college of the city university
1. In addition to admitting residents of the city of New York, each city university community college shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section, admit non-residents of New York city as students.
2.
(a) The methods and procedures for the admission of such non-resident students to the city university of New York community colleges shall be in accordance with the provisions of section sixty-three hundred five of this title. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, any reference contained in such section sixty-three hundred five to the state university trustees or to the chancellor of the state university of New York shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed to mean and refer to the board of trustees and the chancellor of the city university of New York, respectively.
(b) Provided, further, in accordance with section six thousand three hundred five of this title, the chief fiscal officer of each county, as defined in section 2.00 of the local finance law, shall, upon application and submission to him of satisfactory evidence, issue to any person desiring to enroll in a community college as a non-resident student, a certificate of residence form showing that said person is a resident of said county. If the chief fiscal officer of a county refuses to issue such a certificate on the ground that the person applying therefor is not a resident of such county, the person applying may appeal to the chancellor of the city university. The chancellor of the city university shall make a determination after a hearing, upon ten days' notice to such chief fiscal officer of the county, and such determination shall be final and binding on the county. Such person shall, upon his registration for each college year, file with the college such a certificate of residence form issued not earlier than two months prior thereto, and such certificate of residence form shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
3. The city university board of trustees shall work in conjunction with the state university board of trustees for the purposes of examining the laws, regulations, and policies regarding community college charges for non-resident students and submitting a report to the legislature pursuant to subdivision eleven of section sixty-three hundred five of this title.
