RESIDENCY STATEMENT

Under North Carolina law, legal residence means more than simply living in the state. More specifically, it means maintaining a permanent home of indefinite duration as opposed to a temporary residence incident to enrollment in a university, college or technical institute of the state. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and you wish to be considered for in-state residency for tuition purposes, you must complete residentiary acts before you can begin the one-year (12-month) waiting period prior to applying for North Carolina residency.

PORTFOLIO

Portfolios should be mailed to Graduate Admissions, College of Design, NC State University, Box 7701, Brooks Hall, Raleigh, NC 27695-7701.

The purpose of the portfolio is to show creative potential and breadth of experience. As such, it is one of the most important parts of the admissions review process. It should be carefully planned and assembled to reveal the applicant's talents, interests, skills and experience. Careful attention should be given to the portfolio format and quality of reproductions. It is recommended not to include original art work. Every effort will be taken to handle the portfolios with care, but the department cannot assume responsibility for lost or damaged work. Portfolios will be returned only if a self-addressed envelope or package with sufficient postage is included.
