Admission to Programs of Study
Admission to the college itself does not mean students are admitted immediately into a program with specified admissions requirements. Graduation from all degree and diploma programs require high school graduation or its equivalent. The high school graduation requirement is considered to have been met by:
Non-Degree Students
Students who want to take college-level courses but do not plan to pursue a degree, diploma, or certificate should follow the enrollment steps listed under the link for 'visiting student' on the Apply Now webpage.
Degree-Seeking Students
All new students who plan to enter a degree, diploma, or certificate program for college-level credit need to follow the enrollment steps listed under the link for 'new student' on the Apply Now webpage. Help in completing the enrollment steps is available by contacting a Student Success Navigator at 704.330.2722 or by emailing navigate@cpcc.edu or en Espanol ayuda@cpcc.edu.
Students may choose non-degree courses and programs – from beginner to more advanced – for personal enrichment or career enhancement. Most continuing education courses and programs are open enrollment and do not require prerequisites, enrollment applications, or transcripts. Registration is ongoing throughout each semester, with registration dates and new classes typically announced in late April, early July, and late November.
