We’re glad you’re here! Whether you’re visiting from another college or university, here for a summer class, or just want to take a course for personal enrichment we couldn’t be happier you chose Carteret CC. Students who wish to take a class without declaring a major or who don’t plan on completing a degree, diploma, or certificate from Carteret CC can be admitted as Special Credit/Visiting (non-degree seeking) students.

Are you…

  • visiting from another college or university
  • taking summer courses to transfer back to your primary college or university
  • taking courses for personal enrichment

If you answered yes to any of the above, then follow the steps below to apply as a Special Credit/Visiting student at Carteret Community College. Please be aware that Special Credit/Visiting students do not qualify for financial aid or veterans benefits.

Residency

STEP 1   |   COMPLETE YOUR RESIDENCY DETERMINATION

First, complete your North Carolina Residency Determination. This is required before submitting an application for admissions to Carteret CC and establishes whether you’ll pay in-state or out-of-state tuition. Once completed, you will be assigned a Residency Certification Number (RCN). Save this number! You’ll need it for the Carteret CC admission application.

Please note, there are some exceptions for in-state tuition such as military officers and dependents stationed in NC. Carteret CC requires documentation for these exceptions to be made. Requests for exceptions can be made by submitting a Waiver for In-State Tuition form.

We recommend you have access to the following information before you start your residency:

  • Driver’s License or Non-Driver ID
  • Tax Return Information
  • Vehicle License & Registration Information
  • Social Security Number
  • Voter Registration (if applicable)
  • Other Documents (Requested by RDS)
  • Immigration Documents (if applicable)

If you are under the age of 25, you will most likely need to complete residency with a parent or legal guardian.

Have questions about how RDS determines your residency? Contact the Residency Determination Service at 844-319-3640 or rdsinfo@ncresidency.org .

Need access to a computer? Visit Carteret CC’s Student Services in the McGee Building.

If your residency tuition classification changes and you need Carteret CC to update your student record, please email admissions@carteret.edu. Remember to include your RCN number in any correspondence.

For additional information about residency, see Residency FAQs.

STEP 2   |   COMPLETE YOUR ADMISSIONS APPLICATION

Things to keep in mind:

  • If you applied within the last year, you do not need to reapply. Please contact Admissions to confirm; it’s possible you can just update your start term.

STEP 3   |   SUBMIT TRANSCRIPTS (HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE) 

Special Credit/Visiting students only need to provide a transcript if they are taking a course that has a pre-requisite course (a course that must be taken prior to take another course). If this applies to you, please send your transcript to transcripts@carteret.edu.

 

 

Voilà! Now you’re ready to register for class.
