How to determine and apply for North Carolina residency status

North Carolina Residency

Residency Determination Service

Residency is no longer determined by our Admissions Office, and the Admissions Office does not have the ability to override or change a student's residency status. All new students and returning students who have not taken classes for two semesters (excluding summers) will need to complete the Residency Determination Service (RDS) to establish their residency status. The basic application to A-B Tech will direct students to complete RDS as a part of the application.

Where to Find Your RCN Number

Log into ncresidency.org. If you have an active RCN number, you will see "Your Residency Certification Number (RCN) is:" at the top.
