Residency Determination Status
**This should be one of the first steps you take in the college application process, as the account you create for RDS can also be used for CFNC.
Completion of the NC Residency Determination Service is required for all students planning to attend a college or university in North Carolina. Providing evidence of residency is required in order to receive in-state tuition. Please be sure to have your parents/guardians help you with the RDS, as they too will need to create an account.
Click the RDS link to complete.

* Please be sure to give your recommenders adequate time to write your letter of recommendation. We suggest asking them at least one month in advance of when your application is due.
*If you apply via the Common App, PCSECHS will be uploading your transcript, so you will not need to request one from the front office.
