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.
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.
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.
