Full Semester and Short Session Courses

Within a 16-week semester, Central Piedmont offers a variety of shorter sessions to provide scheduling flexibility and more options for choosing your classes.

During each 16-week semester, CPCC typically offers the following sessions:

• Fall semester (16 weeks)- This is the full semester. 

  • 8-week sessions - Classes are shortened, but the same amount of coursework is required. The course material is condensed into 8 weeks instead of 16. 

  • Four 4-week sessions- Not recommended as this is an accelerated class!

  • One 4-week session held over winter break (Not recommended)

• Spring semester (16 weeks)

  • One 12-week session

  • Two 8-week sessions

  • Four 4-week sessions

In addition, Central Piedmont offers one 8-week and two 4-week sessions over the summer.

Students may be eligible with qualifying test scores on the PSAT, SAT, ACT, Pre-ACT, CPCC RISE, AP Exam, and IB Exam if they do not have the 2.8 unweighted GPA.  Please click HERE to see a list of the qualifying test scores.

Students must have a 2.8 GPA to take classes that will transfer. They can get permission from their principal to take Career and Technical educational (CTE) classes with a lower GPA. A limited number of these CTE classes may transfer to some 4 year institutions. 

Yes. Athletes may participate in CCP.  They need to make sure that their class schedule is compatible with their practice and game schedule and that their high school course load meets NCAA eligibility requirements. 

Students may NOT take any class that is not on their pathway until they complete the entire pathway.  Students who complete a Career and Technical pathway may continue to take other classes that will lead to a degree in that area or may select another pathway.  

Current Juniors may take summer classes. Seniors are able to enroll in summer classes that begin before they graduate from West Charlotte. All students will be responsible for cost of books, student and insurance fees. Tuition is covered by the state. 

All community college courses included on the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) will receive weighted credit in accordance with NCDPI policy GCS-L-004. CTE and other courses not included in the CAA are not eligible for weighted credit.

Your student should take their current course work seriously.  The grades they make as a freshman and sophomore will impact their ability to participate in this program later.  They should also take the PLAN, PSAT, ACT, SAT or CPCC Placement test to get the qualifying scores they need for the transfer pathways.  Students should pay attention to their math sequence.  All of the college ready benchmark tests require knowledge of concepts taught up through Algebra II.
