    • If you claimed North Carolina residency on your application, and have not already done so, please complete the residency process with the Residency Determination Service to receive your residency certification number (RCN).

Review credits transferred to Charlotte and math placement information

    • If you have not been assigned a math placement level, do not have transferable math credit or wish to increase your math level, you are required to complete the Math Placement Assessment prior to completing course registration as part of NSO. Learn more about math placement and locating your assigned level.
