What is Career & College Promise (CCP)? The Career & College Promise Program is North Carolina’s dual enrollment program that allows and pays for Tuition for eligible NC high school juniors and seniors to enroll in College Classes at NC community colleges (CPCC for Cardinals). Students earn college credit and high school credit for practically no cost to them. CCP courses can be a 4 year university transfer course or a career technical certificate course. Courses take place of Berry electives and students can chose from online or face to face classes with CPCC. Students must have their own transportation to leave high school early or arrive late if they chose to do a CPCC class instead of school classes.
Why take CCP courses? Research shows that high school students who take CCP are more likely to attend and graduate from college with an advance certification or degree. Because CCP pays for college classes, the program also helps reduce the cost of college and makes post-secondary education a viable option for those who believe that the cost puts college out of reach for them.
What are the eligibility requirements for CCP ?
If your child meets the below eligibility and has a strong self- discipline to learn, they may consider enrolling into CCP courses at Central Piedmont community College.

Career Technical Pathways require 2.8 or higher unweighted GPA( some CTE pathways allow for exceptions/special recommendations)
