How does my residency (where I live) impact tuition wavier?

If you do NOT live in North Carolina when your application for tuition waiver is approved, your tuition will be waived at the out of state rate. If/when your residency does change to NC AFTER an approved tuition waiver is applied, please contact the Bursar's Office to discuss options. 

  • Note that graduate students are subject to tax on tuition waived over $5,250.

If you DO live in North Carolina, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 116-143.1(m), permanent full-time employees of UNC Charlotte, as well as spouses and children of such, who are legal residents of NC qualify as residents for tuition purposes even if they have not maintained legal residency for the required 12 consecutive months prior to residence classification.
