If you need assistance planning your courses or need advising assistance on what courses you can take within your pathway, please make an appointment with our Career Coach and CCP Liaison, Caitie Connor, at caitieconnor.youcanbook.me.
If you are using Self-Service to register on your own, follow this video tutorial for registration assistance.
New Hanover counselors will schedule New Hanover courses around CFCC courses to the best of their ability. If you have a CFCC course conflict with a New Hanover course, a counselor will reach out to you to discuss other options.
Please be mindful of your New Hanover class schedule and course load. You must take at least 1 New Hanover course each semester as a CCP student. Keep this in mind as you plan your CFCC course load and do not schedule yourself for more classes than you will be able to manage. Here is a link to the bell schedule for your reference.
