Let’s begin – Just a few simple steps to complete your application!

First, complete your residency application through the North Carolina Residency Determination Service (RDS). RDS determines whether you’ll pay in-state or out-of-state tuition.

You’ll need your Social Security and Driver’s License Number, if applicable, to complete the request.  If you are under the age of 24, you will need that information for a parent or guardian as well. Once completed, you will be assigned a Residency Certification Number (RCN).  Save this number!  You’ll need it for Step 2 when you complete your BCC admissions application.

For more information about RDS, to include the reconsideration or appeals processes for residency classification, please visit https://ncresidency.cfnc.org.

Now you’re ready to complete the admissions application!  You’ll need the RDS number you just received to enter on your Application.

If you are enrolled at another college and want to take courses to transfer back to your home institution, select “Non-degree Seeking” for your Program of Study under the enrollment information section of the application.

Helpful Hints:

• If you need to save it and come back later, you can.
• Once submitted, allow 1-2 days for your application to be processed.
• If you applied within the last year, you do not need to reapply. 

If you have questions or need assistance with the admissions application, contact us  at OneStop@Brunswickcc.edu or call 910.755.7320.

Request High School and College Transcripts from all schools previously attended. Transcripts can take up to 2 weeks to arrive, so don’t delay ordering your transcripts. We need all of your transcripts to process your FAFSA in time for when you want to start classes.

If you graduated from a North Carolina High School, check the appropriate box within the Admissions Application to order your transcript.  Brunswick County School Board will send the transcript directly to us.    

For College transcripts, check that particular college’s website for instructions on how to order.  BCC accepts electronic transcripts directly from a college/university or an official sealed transcript may be mailed to:  Brunswick Community College, P.O. Box 30, Supply, NC 28462.

If you are a current Brunswick County high school senior, you may submit your most recent high school transcript for provisional admission.  You are responsible for submitting the official transcript once you have graduated.
