1. Changing your address from one NYS address to a different NYS address: this will not affect your residency status. Simply fill out this form (requires Adobe Acrobat) and mail it to: Office of the Registrar, John Jay College, 445 W. 59th St., Room 4113N, New York, NY 10019

2. Changing your address from within NYS to outside of NYS: by changing your address to an address outside of New York State your residency automatically becomes out of state and your tuition rate will change to reflect that fact. Simply fill out this form and mail it to: Office of the Registrar, John Jay College, 445 W. 59th St., Room 4113N, New York, NY 10019.

3. Changing your address from outside NYS to within NYS: you can change your address by using this form but your residency status will not change until you come in to the Admissions office and present the documentation detailed below. To repeat: you cannot obtain NYS residency simply by submitting a change of address form; you must come into the Admissions office with proper documentation. CHANGING YOUR RESIDENCY TO NYS CANNOT BE DONE THROUGH THE MAIL, BY FAX, OR OVER THE PHONE; IT MUST BE DONE IN PERSON.
