Source guidance recorded on 2026-10-15. Confirm the applicable policy year, cohort and property jurisdiction before relying on time-sensitive facts.

A student must establish legal residence (domicile) in North Carolina, maintain it for at least 12 consecutive months before the term, have residentiary presence, and intend to make NC a permanent home rather than being here solely for college.
