NC H767

Allows North Carolina high school graduates to qualify for in-state tuition at public higher education institutions if they meet five criteria: graduated from a non-residential NC public or private school, enrolled immediately after graduation, attended NC schools for at least four consecutive years before graduation, hold an unexpired NC driver's license or identification card, and have a valid social security number.

Requires eligible students to provide evidence of their unexpired NC driver's license or identification card at the beginning of each semester to maintain in-state tuition eligibility.

Protects the confidentiality of information submitted during the in-state tuition application process and designates such information as non-public records.

Specifies that students eligible under these new provisions shall not be considered in-state applicants for University of North Carolina system admission purposes, though they receive in-state tuition rates.

Takes effect July 1, 2023, and applies beginning with the 2023-2024 academic year.
