A nonresident student is one who has resided in the State for a period of at least one year but has resided outside of the sponsorship area during a portion or all of the six months preceding the date of the application for a certificate of residence. For tuition purposes, out-of-state students shall be treated in a manner consistent with these regulations and approved by the State University Board of Trustees.

(b) All instructional programs, including off-site campus locations (high schools, malls, etc.) supported by State aid shall be entitled to chargeback payment by the county of residence of nonresident students.

(c) Within 30 days after the commencement of a student's initial enrollment, each nonresident student shall submit to the college a valid certificate of residence. Such certificate is valid for one year from the date of issuance and is applicable for all terms or programs commenced and completed within that 12-month period.

(d) Within 45 days after the commencement of each college term or program, the president of the college or designee shall submit to the chief fiscal officer of each county a list of nonresident students attending the college on the basis of a certificate of residence and a voucher for the amount payable by each county for these students. The billing of the county of residence for each nonresident student attending a community college shall be determined on the basis of the fractional full-time equivalent student load that each student is enrolled in as of the census date (as defined by the student data file manual).

(e) The operating chargeback rate per full-time equivalent student shall be an amount equal to the community college sponsor's actual contributions, including appropriated fund balance for the support of a full-time equivalent student attending the community college from the sponsorship area as determined in the college operating budget request approved by the State University trustees, adjusted by a factor calculated upon the difference between the budgeted and actual operating costs as determined from the college's annual financial reports, rounded downward to the nearest multiple of $10. Such operating chargeback rate and calculated adjustment thereto, shall be determined as follows:

(f) On or before March 31, 1995, and every year thereafter, the State University shall, subject to the availability of appropriations therefor, reimburse each county which has issued a certificate of residence for any nonresident student in attendance at the Fashion Institute of Technology during the 1993-94 academic year and every year thereafter in an amount equal to 50 percent of the actual amount paid by each such county on behalf of such students, upon certification of such payment by the Fashion Institute of Technology, and on or before June 1, 1995, and every year thereafter, the State University shall, subject to the availability of appropriations therefor, reimburse each county for the remaining 50 percent of the actual amount paid by each such county on behalf of such students, upon certification of such payment by the Fashion Institute of Technology.
