UNCC CAMPUS TOUR

Academics
Academics
Freshman and Sophomore years everyone is pretty much taking the same courses: English, Math, Science, Social Studies and two electives. You've most likely gotten your PE credit, maybe your Fine Arts credit and possibly started a foreign language.
Now comes your Junior year. You have a few more options and the opportunity to take more rigorous classes through dual enrollment and with AP courses. These courses show that you are growing as a student, serious about your academics and can boost your weighted GPA. These classes can also help you to start earning college credit for a fraction of the cost, saving you time and money later.
Don't let these opportunities pass you by in favour of a "safe" or "easy" schedule. Students who are eligible to participate in dual enrollment with CPCC will be notified by mid-February (see the dual enrollment tab for more information). AP courses require approval from Mrs Ubriaco (based on 9th and 10th grade grades) and can be taken on campus or through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) platform.
Social Media
Social Media
Don't Let 100 Characters on Twitter Cost You $100,000 in Scholarships
You've seen the headlines, Student Loses Scholarship Due to Social Media Post and Social Media Cost This Star Athlete his Division I Scholarship. Unfortunately, we've been seeing these headlines more and more. Social media can severely impact your future. Now is the time to review all your social media accounts and make sure they're clean. Any use of profanity, images of you with alcohol, vaping/smoking, or bullying are all examples of what may cost you a scholarship or admission to a school. Colleges and universities clearly describe the qualities and characteristics they are looking for in applicants on their websites, admissions brochures and application packets. Students who are admitted to these schools receive offers based on the school’s impression that, based on all available information, that student meets the school’s standards of conduct and character. When an admitted student shows that their character does not align with the university's standards for admission, it stands to reason that they may no longer be eligible for admission.
One post, one tweet, one video is all it takes to ruin the future you've worked so hard to build.
