Residency Determination Service (RDS) The State of North Carolina has a required online process for students to determine eligibility for in-state tuition, state grants, and certain financial aid at colleges and universities in our state. This process is hosted at www.ncresidency.org and enables a student to use one residency determination for all two-year and four-year colleges in NC. Students must use the same username and password for www.ncresidency.org and www.CFNC.org.
Students must complete this in order to receive in-state tuition.
