Department

A student who has permanent residency in North Carolina but attends a boarding school out of state shall receive a DEC from the school they would normally attend if they were enrolled in a North Carolina public school. That school will ask for the following documentation:

*Proof of residency within their district

*Transcript/report card showing the latest semester grades from the boarding school

*A letter on the boarding school’s letterhead stating that the student is currently in attendance at that school

*A report card/transcript at the end of each semester until the student graduates – making sure the student understands that they will lose their driving eligibility if this is not presented at the end of each semester. The public school issuing the DEC will not be responsible for tracking down transcripts or report cards. This is the student’s responsibility.
