General Information Student Residency Classification Policy The tuition charge for persons who have been legal residents of North Carolina for at least 12 months is less than for non-residents. Out-of-state students are admitted under the same regulations as others except for tuition charged. I. General To qualify for in-state tuition, a legal resident must have maintained his or her domicile in North Carolina for at least 12 months immediately prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes. To be eligible for such classification, the individual must establish that his or her presence in the state during such 12-month period was for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide domicile rather than for purposes of mere temporary residency incident to education. Regulations concerning residency classification for tuition purposes are set forth in detail in A Manual to Assist the Public Higher Education Institutions of North Carolina in the Matter of State Residence Classification for Tuition Purposes. Each enrolled student is responsible for knowing the contents of the Manual, which is the controlling administrative statement of policy on this subject. A copy of this manual is available for review in the Admissions Office or online at http://www.northcarolina.edu/legal/residence/committee/manual/Residence_ Manual_Aug_2010.pdf.
