Student Location

For purposes of this policy, “student location” is separate from residency classification for financial aid purposes.

Determination of Student Location at Initial Enrollment

A student’s location is determined at the time of initial enrollment in an academic program based on the student’s permanent/legal address maintained in the University’s student information system.

A student will be considered located in New York State if any of the following conditions apply at the time of initial enrollment:

• The student resides in University-sponsored housing;
• The student is enrolled exclusively in on-campus coursework during the initial term of enrollment;
• The student’s permanent/legal address on file with the University is located in New York State; or
• The student’s permanent/legal address is outside of the United States or its territories.

If none of the above conditions apply, the student’s location will be determined based on the U.S. state or territory associated with the student’s permanent/legal address on file with the University.

For purposes of this policy, initial enrollment refers to the student’s first term of enrollment in a specific academic program.

Changes in Student Location

Students are responsible for maintaining an accurate and current permanent/legal address with the University.

Students who relocate to another state or territory must update their permanent/legal address through the University’s official student information system.

A change in student location becomes effective on the date the updated address is processed and reflected in the University’s student information system.

Professional Licensure and Certification Disclosures

Adelphi University maintains professional licensure and certification disclosures for applicable academic programs on its State Licensure and Certification Disclosures webpage.

If a student enrolled in a program leading to professional licensure or certification changes their location to a state or territory where the program does not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification, Adelphi University will provide the student with any disclosures required under applicable federal regulations and NC-SARA policies.
