The location of a student is determined by where the student resides as of the first day of classes of the first term/semester in which the student enrolls, regardless of the number of credits.
The location of a student pursuing an on-campus program will be determined by the local address on file for the student. This includes students who register for fully online courses but are not enrolled in a fully online program, and students who reside on campus.
The location of a student pursuing a fully online program will be determined by the permanent address on file for the student, unless a local address exists.
Students must submit address changes via MyUAlbany within 30 days of changing residence. Students who move out of state and who are pursuing a licensure/certification program must inform their academic department of the change within 30 days of leaving New York State. There are federal disclosure requirements with respect to student location for licensure/certification programs. Students can change their address by logging into MyUAlbany, scrolling down to the Personal Information area, and clicking on the Address link. There will be a link labeled Update Address Information and this will open a new window where students can click on the pencil image to edit individual address types.
This policy refers to physical location of the student and is distinct from residency status for tuition and/or billing purposes. Tuition billing residency is determined by the Student Accounts Office and eligibility requirements are available on their website.
