Residency for Tuition Purposes
The state of North Carolina substantially subsidizes the cost of tuition for all students whose domicile, or permanent legal residence, is in North Carolina.
You may qualify as a resident for tuition purposes if:
- you and/or your parent(s) / legal guardian have established and maintained legal residence (or domicile) in North Carolina for at least 12 consecutive months before you claimed residency,
- your intent is to make North Carolina your home indefinitely, and
- you came to North Carolina for reasons other than to attend college
The Residency Determination Service (RDS) is the centralized system in North Carolina for determining residency for students. Please note, our admissions team is not responsible for making residency determinations. For additional information and step-by-step instructions on how to apply, please visit the Residency website.
