As a state-supported institution, the tuition rate for legal residents of North Carolina is less than the tuition rate for nonresidents. All students claiming North Carolina residency must file through the North Carolina’s Residency Determination Service.

Students classified as in-state pay only the resident tuition rate. Students classified as out-of-state pay the out-of-state differential and the resident tuition.

Information regarding residency requirements is also available on the Residency Determination Service website. A new application for residence status for tuition purposes may need to be submitted with all reapplication or readmission requests.
