North Carolina Residency

Graduate Student in-state tuition is significantly lower than out-of-state tuition. Although the department pays the cost instead of the individual, the expense to the department becomes prohibitive when many students do not file for in-state status.

As a result, the department can only promise funding beyond the five-year guarantee to students who have made a good-faith effort to secure in-state status.  Students from outside the US, not being permitted in-state status, are exempt from this consideration.

Please look for correspondence from the Graduate Coordinator and Residency Coordinator (GHS Cabinet) for residency updates.

554A Pauli Murray Hall*
102 Emerson Dr., CB #3195
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3195

*Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
