Use the Virtual Learning Community course search website to search for community college courses in the NC CC System. https://vlc.nccommunitycolleges.edu/students/find-a-course/

If the community college is close enough for you to get there or if the course is available online, then check to see if it is available in that community college's CCP program. If it is there, follow that community college's procedures to apply and make an appointment to meet with your high school to discuss your plans.
