Getting In-State Tution in NC

Transfer Students

<p>Hey, I wanted to get peoples opinions on this, and see if anyone else has gone through this also....</p>

<p>Me and my Girlfriend moved down here August of 2008....I was already claimed as a in-state resident because my family had already been living in NC 2 years prior. But her on the other hand got denied for instate and had to pay out of state tuition for the last 2 years because her parents live in another state.</p>

<p>She has her car registered here, has an NC license, voted here, works/pays taxes on her car, filed taxes here etc.</p>

<p>Even with all that they still would deny her for instate just because her parents live out of state. But what I was wondering what if we got married this summer would that help any? Has anyone done this before? </p>

<p>We do live together (in my parents house) and have been together for the past 8 years.</p>

<p>However, for specific institutional requirements, they give contact information, so you’ll have to call or email to be certain.</p>

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you need to be a resident of the state for 5 years before you can be considered an ‘in state’ student.</p>

<p>Depends on the college. For U of Indiana its either 6 months or a year (i forget which one). Emancipation is probably your best bet.</p>
