Career & College Promise
The Career and College Promise (CCP) program allows qualified high school juniors and seniors in North Carolina the opportunity to pursue college courses (tuition-free) while in high school. The CCP program accelerates the completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills. CCP is designed for students who are college-ready while in high school and who want to get a head start on college.
The Deadline for all NEW student applications for 16 week classes must be received by Monday July 31, 2023. Applications received after this date are for 12 week classes.
