Dual Enrollment:

Career & College Promise (“CCP”) is North Carolina’s dual enrollment program for high school students. This program allows eligible NC high school students to enroll in college classes at North Carolina community colleges for FREE while remaining enrolled at their high school. Students who successfully complete college courses can earn college credit that can transfer to other post-secondary institutions after graduation from high school. The purpose of Career and College Promise is to offer structured opportunities for qualified high school students to dual enroll in community college courses at CPCC that provide pathways that lead to transferring, a certificate, diploma, or degree as well as provide entry-level jobs skills.

• College Transfer Pathways (Must have >2.8 unweighted GPA)- Designed for students planning to continue their educational career beyond high school to eventually achieve an Associate's or Bachelor's degree at a community college or university. Courses taken through these pathways are eligible for transfer to all UNC member institutions, so long as the student earns a 'C' or higher. These courses will earn 1 additional quality point in a student's weighted GPA. 

• Career & Technical Education Pathways - Allows students to begin a certification or diploma program in a particular technical field or career area.  Some of these courses will earn 1 additional quality point in a student's weighted GPA, but not all courses.  

Students can only take the courses in their selected pathway. If students register for classes outside of their pathway, the college will drop those class(es). Students can be in two Career and Technical Pathways at one time OR one Career and Technical Pathway and one College Transfer pathway at one time. You may pick one pathway only as well.
