Application for Classification as a Legal Resident (Domiciliary) of
North Carolina for Tuition Purposes
State law allows bona fide North Carolina legal residents (domiciliaries) to be eligible for a lower tuition
rate than non-residents. North Carolina law (G.S. 116-143.1) requires you to establish legal
residence (domicile) in North Carolina and maintain it for at least 12 months immediately prior
to the beginning of the term for which you seek classification as a resident for tuition purposes.
The statute also contains definitions, rules and special provisions for determining residence for tuition
purposes. Copies of the law and the local institution's policies may be obtained from each community
college.
If you are admitted to the college (or readmitted after a lapse in enrollment) the law requires the
community college to classify you as a resident or non-resident for tuition purposes for your term of
admission. To be classified a resident for tuition purposes, you must give the college the evidence it
requires to enable it to make that classification.
Directions
1.
Please print (in black or blue ink) all responses. If the question is not applicable to your situation,
write "NA". When "date" is requested, provide month, day, and year.
2.
You will be asked to provide at least two appropriate documents to substantiate your claim.
Examples of such documentation may include, but are not limited to, state or federal tax returns,
a voter registration card, a birth certificate, a marriage license, utility bills, INS documents,
current VISA, and/or a United States of America or North Carolina Government issued
identification document(s).
3.
Please answer all questions accurately and completely. You are encouraged to write on the
back of the application or attach additional sheets if you need more space to provide a complete
answer. You are also encouraged to provide detailed, supplemental information concerning your
residency claim. By providing complete answers initially, you help eliminate processing delays that
occur when we must get in touch with you to obtain additional information.
4.
If you and/or your spouse are not U.S. citizens, you will be required to supply immigration
information on a supplemental form by the community college. You will be expected to provide a
current VISA.
5.
All forms are available at the Registration and Records Office, or online at www.waketech.edu,
and must be returned to the local community college where you are enrolled or intend to enroll
for review.
Remember: The application must be completed entirely in order for it to be reviewed.
