Admissions
Central Piedmont Community College follows an "open door" policy which welcomes all students without regard to color, creed, disability, race, national origin, or sex. Admission to the College, however, does not mean that students will be admitted immediately to a program with specified admissions requirements.
Steps in admissions vary, depending on what a student plans to accomplish at CPCC. Students are encouraged to contact the College early, in order to complete the steps outlined here before the registration period begins.
Students should complete a CPCC admissions form, which is available at the Student Success Center, the Admissions Office at any CPCC Campus, by mail or online. You can also download the form. Students should indicate the program they plan to enter.
