Career and College Promise (CCP) provides dual enrollment education opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students to accelerate the completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. View the enrollment steps below to make sure you are enrolled in time!
- 1. Attend a CCP Enrollment Interest Meeting
- 2. Verify Your Eligibility
For College Transfer Pathway students must:
- Be a high school junior or senior;
- Have a 2.8 or higher unweighted high school GPA OR demonstrate college readiness in reading, writing and math on a state-approved assessment (SAT, PSAT, ACT, Pre-ACT, NCDAP, RISE placement test, AP, IB, Cambridge International Examination).
For Career and Technical Education Pathway students must:
- Be a high school junior or senior;
- Have a 2.8 or higher unweighted high school GPA OR demonstrate college readiness in reading, writing and math on a state-approved assessment (SAT, PSAT, ACT, Pre-ACT, NCDAP, RISE placement test, AP, IB, Cambridge International Examination), OR have a written recommendation from the high school principal/principal’s designee. If entering CCP with a principal/designee recommendation, the recommendation must provide rationale for approving the waiver and the student must meet the prerequisite for any course in the chosen pathway. Waivers are not allowed for any CTE pathway that includes UGETC courses (approved university transfer courses).
To maintain eligibility in either pathway, a student must maintain at least a college GPA of 2.0 after two college courses and continue to make progress toward graduation. A student who falls below a 2.0 GPA after completing two college courses will be required to meet with a College Liaison to develop a “Satisfactory Academic Progress” plan.
Students who do not meet the GPA minimum requirement can still verify program eligibility through Placement Testing. Go to Placement Testing to learn how to prepare for placement tests and to see the current test schedule. Testing is on a first-come, first-served basis.
To learn about the minimum test scores required to demonstrate college readiness, view the Preparing for Placement Tests page.
Students may also demonstrate college readiness with:
- Advanced Placement (AP) Credit - Three (3) or higher on English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Calculus AB, and Calculus BC.
- International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit - Four (4) or higher on IB English A (Standard or Higher, IB Mathematics (Higher Level), IB Advanced Mathematics (Higher Level), and IB Mathematical Studies (Standard Level)
