Per N.C. General Statutes (G.S. 115D-5(b)(13)), individuals enrolling in courses offered through the Human
Resources Development (HRD) Program may be granted a waiver of registration fees if they meet one of
four criteria:
1) Are unemployed;
2) Have received notification of pending layoff;
3) Are working and are eligible for the federal earned income tax credit;
4) Are working and earning wages at or below two hundred percent (200%) of the federal poverty
guidelines.

Use these guidelines for determining an individual’s eligibility for the HRD Tuition and Fee Waiver.
Additionally, the policy states that students for whom registration fees are waived must sign a statement
on an official college document verifying that they meet one of the criteria.
Please note that students must sign a waiver for each course they are enrolled in and seek waiver
eligibility.
