State Residence
The North Carolina General Assembly has enacted a detailed statutory scheme for determining who does and who does not qualify for in-state tuition. That statutory scheme is found in Article 14 of Chapter 116 of the North Carolina General Statutes which mandates that only those who can demonstrate a minimum of twelve months of uninterrupted domicile (legal residence) in North Carolina are eligible for in-state tuition.
The statute also places on applicants the burden of establishing, by a preponderance of evidence, that they are bona fide domiciliaries rather than mere residents of North Carolina.
