In-State Tuition or Not In-State Tuition?

[Ausmerican]

Hi all,

Not sure this is the correct area to post but it seems its the only spot I can post.

My wife was born and raised in North Carolina and she went to NC State university for both her undergrads. We got married and travelled to Australia for 2 years to teach English. She was recently accepted back at NC state to do her master domicile has come into play. Is she still technically a resident of NC? All her official mail is sent to her mothers home in NC as it always has and we intend on moving back to NC permanently (in a different home, I'm not living with my mother-in-law).

It's not - this place is for questions about the forums themselves, not about grad school. Looks like it was moved!

 

As to your question - why don't you ask NCSU?  The registrar's office would probably be the place to start.  In most states, though, she wouldn't be considered a resident anymore because she's lived outside of NC for 2 years as an adult for work, and she doesn't have a permanent domicile in the state (your MIL's house wouldn't count).  She may be able to get residency for her second year, though, once you get a place and set up a domicile (register your car, change driver's license, register to vote...)
