The Concurrent Enrollment Program provides eligible students a head start on a college education, advanced vocational preparation and personal enrichment opportunities. (Note: NC high schools include public, private, or home schools authorized by NC to operate as home schools.)

     Eligible high school students must be 16 years old, currently enrolled in a North Carolina high school at least one-half of a full time schedule (at least 3 high school courses or one-half of the high school day), and be making satisfactory progress towards graduation in order to participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Program. Participating students must have the approval and signature of their principal or other designate person on the Concurrent Enrollment approval form, as well as the parent's approval and signature, and the student must also sign the form.

     Concurrent Enrollment students are regarded by CPCC as any other college student and receive identical treatment. This means all students are responsible for their own behavior, attendance, and communication with instructors.

     High school students who are at least 16 years old and live in other NC counties may participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Program if their local community college does not offer the course the student wants. We encourage you to check with your local community college.

     Concurrent Enrollment students may register for any 100-level college course or higher for which they met the pre-requisites. College level courses include traditional, online, and teleweb courses (Distance Learning).

     Concurrent Enrollment students enroll in college-level courses and begin creating a college transcript which is a permanent record.

     Tuition and fees for college level courses are waived for high school students who participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Program at CPCC. Students must pay for continuing education and self-supporting classes.

     Concurrently enrolling students are not eligible to take remedial or developmental courses (courses numbered below 100 are remedial; for example, MAT090, RED090, ENG080 are remedial courses).

     CPCC awards college credits only. Whether high school credit is awarded is up to the receiving high school.

     Students may attend any one of CPCC's campuses.

     Registration for Concurrent Enrollment students is in-person only and at designated times. Registration may be done at any CPCC campus. Dates are posted below for the term.

Parking

     CAPS Fee (Campus Access Parking & Security Fee)
College Experience and Concurrent Enrollment students do NOT have to pay for parking, but they must have a parking decal to park at any CPCC Campus. You can pick up your decal by going to any campus Cashier's Office, identifying yourself as a College Experience or Concurrent Enrollment student, provide your schedule/receipt and your NC Drivers License (or a picture ID). The Cashier's Office will verify your enrollment and provide you with a Parking Decal.

     Each term, one week before class starts and one week after class starts, students can retrieve their decals.

Where on my car do I put the parking decal?

     The static-cling parking decal is to be placed on the inside of the driver's side rear window.
