Residency for Tuition Purposes

In compliance with state law, the University of North Carolina System requires students to request a residency classification from the centralized Residency Determination Service (RDS). RDS is the entity responsible for all new classifications of residency in North Carolina. As a result, all residency questions and inquiries must be directed to RDS.
