Career and College Promise
Career and College Promise (CCP) provides seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students in order to accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills.
CCP pathways prepare high school students for college, both academically and culturally. From start to completion, CCP aligns with a traditional college student experience to help students accelerate into careers and college after high school.
Qualified public, private, or home-schooled students can earn college credit that can be applied toward high school credit.
Classes are taught on the college campus and/or offered online.
CCP students are the following:
Ready to take on the responsibilities of being both a high school and a college student;
Academically motivated to start earning college credits towards a career and/or transfer to a four-year college or university; and
Meet certain program and course eligibility requirements.
There are three pathways available to high school students:
The College Transfer (CT) Pathway is for students planning to continue their education beyond high school to achieve an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree at a community college or university.
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway is for students to begin a certification or diploma program in a particular technical field or career area.
The Cooperative Innovative High School (CIHS) Pathway is for students planning to attend small public high schools, located on the campus of an institute of higher education, where students work toward completion of both the high school diploma and an associate’s degree, transferrable credit, or career certificate. The three high schools in Durham Tech’s service area that we serve are Middle College High School, City of Medicine Academy, and Hillside New Tech.
Dual Credit Allowances for Career and College Promise
High School Course Equivalencies courses are based upon the Universal General Education Transfer Component of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement and will transfer for equivalency credit. For purposes of calculating student Grade Point Averages, courses included on this chart are weighted in accordance with SBE policy GCS-L-004.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition is waived for credit courses during the fall, spring, and summer semesters by the state of North Carolina. As of spring 2020, students are responsible for course fees. View course fees for College Transfer or for Career and Technical Education courses.
Textbooks
Textbook costs are the responsibility of the student unless otherwise covered by the school district. Check with your school for details.
For more information, visit the North Carolina Community College System reference manual for the Career and College Promise program.
All students taking CCP classes must sign the DSA/CCP contract.
The PSAT/NMSQT Will be offered at DSA in October 2024.
Space is limited to the first 100 juniors that sign up. The top ten 10% of the Junior class will be paid for by the state. They do not need to sign up for the test.
By taking the PSAT/NMSQT as a junior, students may meet the requirements to enter the National Merit® Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships.
What Types of Merit Scholarships Are Awarded?
The approximately 7,500 Merit Scholarships are split across three categories. First is the National Merit $2,500 Scholarship, with the winners decided by college admissions officers and high school counselors. This award is a one-time payment of $2,500.
Next are about 1,000 corporate-sponsored merit and special scholarships, decided by National Merit Scholarship Corp. staff, with the amount and duration of the award varying by corporate sponsor and ranging up to $10,000 per year. Finally, there are around 4,000 renewable college-sponsored merit scholarships, with winners decided by the individual colleges and amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000 a year.
The PSAT/NMSQT includes a Reading Test, Writing and Language Test, and Math Test.
