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 under the age of 24, you will need that information for a parent/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.Note: Career and College Promise applicants do not need to complete Residency to enroll in courses while in high school.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!
