North Carolina Residency Process

[EHCAT4]

Hello all!

I was recently accepted to UNC's DPT program and have paid my deposit. I have also accepted an offer to my hometown school of Emory & Henry College. I am looking at how affordable it will be for me to go to UNC being out of state (VA resident) and believe it will be very possible if I get residency in North Carolina. I have been looking over the residency process and it is a bit nerve-racking. I was wondering if anyone has been through this process in North Carolina and could shed some light on it from a student/clinician perspective?

Also just to add, I am not solely wanting to fo this for school as I know that is a possible issue. I have always wanted to/still want to move to NC to practice eventually and am also planning to get my athletic training licensure in NC as opposed to VA.

Thanks in advance!

I can't really speak to the process as I have been a resident of NC for approx 10 years now, but I know that you need to have lived in NC for at least a year to even be considered a resident. I'm not sure from your post if you have, but I had to prove residency to get in-state fees for a class and it was as simple as filling out an online form.
