Comprehensive Articulation Agreement NC

CMS does all grade suppression on the high school transcript.  This is for failed courses only.

If a student fails a course at CPCC and then takes it a 2nd time...

• CPCC:  Both grades appear on the transcript.  The higher grade is used in the GPA calculation.

• CMS:  The first failing grade is suppressed and not seen on the transcript and is excluded from the GPA calculation.  The 2nd grade is listed and used in the GPA calculation.  This is a manual process.  You will have to tell the registrar to grade suppress the first grade.

If a student passes a CPCC class (say with a D), and retakes it  (a good reason to retake is they may need a minimum grade of C as pre-requisite for another class, or they may want to retake to earn a C for transfer credit).

• CPCC:  Both grades appear on the transcript.  The higher grade is used in the GPA calculation.

• CMS:  The first grade is on the transcript and used in the GPA calculation because the course was not failed.  The 2nd grade is on the transcript and NOT used in the GPA calculation - even if it was higher.

Bottom line....CMS only allows grade suppression for failed courses.

*Must be a Junior or Senior.  Eligibility requires a min. unweighted GPA of 2.8 or qualifying TEST SCORES for the College Transfer Pathways.  Some Career Technical Pathways do not have minimum GPA requirement.  Click on the pathways below for more information.  Students can choose up to two pathways per semester:  1 College Transfer and 1 Career, or 2 Career pathways.  

In order for a dual enrollment course to count for PHS elective credit, the CPCC course chosen must be at least 3 credit hours.
