The Residency Manual
III. Procedures for Classifying by Residency for Tuition Purposes (continued)
C. Transfer Students.
When a student transfers from one public institution of higher education in North Carolina to another, he or she shall be treated as a new student by the institution to which the student is transferring and shall be assigned an initial residence classification for tuition purposes consistent with the requirements of Section A, above.
The transfer into or admission to a different component of the same institution (viz., from an undergraduate to a graduate or professional program) shall not be construed as a transfer from one institution to another and, thus, shall not by itself require a reclassification inquiry unless (1) the affected student requests a reclassification inquiry or (2) the transfer or enrollment occurs following the elapse of more than one quarter, semester, or term during which the student was not enrolled as a student.
