Career and College Promise

WHAT: Career & College Promise (CCP) is North Carolina's dual enrollment program for high school students. This program allows eligible high school students to enroll in college classes at North Carolina community colleges and universities through their high school. Students who successfully complete college courses earn college credit they can take with them after graduation. In many cases, students can also earn dual credit - meeting high school graduation requirements with college courses.
