• Career college Promise- CCP is NC’s dual enrollment program that

allows eligible NC high school students to enroll in College Classes at NC community college ( CPCC for Cardinals) and covers tuition. Students Earn college Credit and High school Credit. CCP courses can be taken by juniors and seniors on track for graduation instead of CMS electives.

• Research shows that high school students who take CCP are more likely

to attend and graduate from college with an advance certification or

• degree. Because CCP pays for college classes, the program also helps

reduce the cost of college and make post secondary education a viable

• ption for those who believe that the cost puts college out of reach for

them.

• CCP students can leave Berry early to take their CCP courses
• Over 105 Berry juniors and seniors took over 400 college classes via the

Career college promise program in the last school year alone.

• DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY IF YOU QUALIFY!

Being a Successful Student

• Be your own advocate! We want nothing more than for you to be successful, but it is up to you in

making sure you have taken the necessary steps in acquiring positive results!

• There is no room for excuses.
• Ask questions!
• DO NOT wait until the last minute in asking for help and completing assignments.

Commonly asked questions/comments:

• I do not have transportation, so I can’t take classes.
• FALSE: CPCC offers many online courses. CPCC Central Campus is also on the

CATS bus and trolley route if families are okay with it.

• How will CPCC classes be viewed when I apply to colleges?
• CPCC courses are ACTUAL college courses. Colleges are encountering students

frequently as dual enrollment programs gain popularity across the country. Public universities in NC are required to view dual enrollment courses as similar and equal to AP courses when reviewing your application for college admission. Whether you are enrolled in AP or dual enrollment courses, you must still perform well to prove your academic readiness.

Commonly asked questions/comments:

• I play sports, have a AP and Honors classes at POB, I’m in clubs, I

work a job, and babysit. This makes me ineligible to take classes at CPCC.

• Anyone who meets the academic criteria for the Career and College

Promise program and apply within the deadlines can take classes at CPCC. Students must be realistic with their time commitments for other academic work and outside school activities. WHAT IS YOUR PRIORITY? – Be realistic about your time before committing to college classes.

• I have 2nd block “free”. How do I find a CPCC class that fits this

time slot?

• CPCC runs on a college schedule. They do not recognize the 4X4 or A/B

schedules at CMS. You must find/take classes at CPCC that do not interfere with your POB schedule. That may include classes after 2:30 or 1:45 if you have early dismissal. That may include a night class, a Saturday morning class, or an online class. POB scheduling attempts to arrange classes at the beginning or the end of the day at POB to give you larger time blocks to take classes at CPCC.

Commonly asked questions/comments:

• Do CPCC instructors know I am a high school student and provide

me with extra assistance since I am still in high school?

• This is a college course. College instructors are not aware of who is a “high

school student” and who is a “college student”. They treat everyone the same. POB/CMS is not in a position to step in to “help”.

• What if I do poorly in my CPCC classes?
• You must maintain your GPA to remain in the program. Doing poorly could

remove you from the program.

• Classes at CPCC will appear on your CPCC transcript as well as your CMS

transcript and calculate into your CPCC and CMS GPA’s. Performing poorly in your college classes can certainly “hurt” your college applications. Performing well can help your college application stand out as prepared, ready, and proven for the college classroom environment at a 4-year university.

• I have an IEP or 504 plan. Does this make me ineligible to take

classes?

• Your eligibility for the program is strictly based upon your GPA and college

entrance exam scores. If you do have an IEP or a 504 plan they will not follow you to college. But you can seek college services through the Office of Disabilities at CPCC to continue your accomodations.
