   • Under "Residency Status" fill in the date you established permanent residency in North Carolina. Students may be eligible for in-state tuition status if they have established and maintained a legal residence in NC for at least 12 consecutive months prior to enrollment. Non-US citizens should bring a resident alien card, visa or I-94. If you have lived your entire life in North Carolina, enter your birth-date.

   • Register to take the placement test by completing the top right corner of the application or calling (910)695-3733.

2. Have all your official transcripts (high school or GED, and any previous colleges attended) sent to the Admissions Office. To obtain your transcripts use the following high school or college transcript request forms. The document is in PDF format and require the Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (free to download and use). Transcripts must be sent from the originating institution to be accepted as official documents.

3. Following testing, you will be given a time to participate in a new student orientation session. All students - especially those interested in Health Sciences, Nursing, or Landscape Gardening - should attend the earliest orientation possible.

4. See your academic advisor to plan your classes. We encourage you to register and pay for your classes during early registration opportunities to avoid the lines.

5. If you are applying for financial assistance, it is very important that you mail the Free Application for Federal Student Aid as soon as possible.
