ADMISSIONS/ENROLLMENT
The Residency Determination Service will provide separate processes to reach a residency classi cation. Most students will only be required to complete the Initial Consideration process. The Reconsideration and Appeal processes are for those students who experience a change in circumstances (Reconsideration) or who have not had a change in status and believe their resi- dency classi cation is incorrect (Appeal). All students, parents, faculty, staff and constituents of the North Carolina Community College System should refer to the residency website at www. ncresidency.org for more current details regarding the North Carolina Residency Determination Service, processes and required residency guidelines.
Admission Refusal
Per policy 6.01.01, SCC reserves the right to refuse admission to any applicant during any period of time that the student is suspended or expelled from another college or edu- cational entity for non-academic disciplinary reasons. The college also reserves the right to refuse admission to any applicant if it is necessary to protect the safety of the applicant, other individuals or the community. The Dean of Students administers the admissions process and the appeals procedure.
False Information
Applicants are expected to demonstrate honesty in the completion of all necessary forms. False information will be grounds for rejection, dismissal or suspension.
Use of Social Security Numbers
The college collects social security numbers from all applicants for admission to ensure accurate records for required federal and state reporting. The college protects and restricts access to this information and assigns an SCC ID# to each applicant for internal tracking, reporting and day-to-day college business functions. Disclosure of your social se- curity number is optional. If you choose not to provide your social security number, a sub- stitute number will be assigned. However, if you plan to apply for federal nancial aid or if you plan to deduct your tuition on your taxes, your social security number will be required. However, if you plan to apply for federal nancial aid, claim North Carolina residency for tuition purposes or deduct your tuition on your taxes, your social security number will be required.
Non-Resident Student Restriction on Enrollment & State Authorization
For students of a state other than North Carolina, SCC must be authorized to offer classes and/or programs by the state in which the student resides.
SCC has joined the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). As of catalog print time, all US states are included in this reciprocity agreement with the exception of California. If you are a resident of California as of catalog print time you are not authorized to study with us.
