Career & College Promise (CCP) is North Carolina’s dual enrollment program for high school students. This program allows eligible NC high school students to enroll in tuition-free college classes at North Carolina community colleges while still in high school. (While the tuition cost for classes is waived, students are still responsible for the cost of any books or materials associated with their courses.) Students who successfully complete these college courses earn college credit they can take with them after graduation in many cases.

CCP offers North Carolina high school students options to pursue educational and career goals of their choice using a rigorous yet supportive structure designed to help them become successful.

As a family, please watch the CCP Online Information Session.  It is helpful in understanding details about the program.

CCP offers students the option to choose from these pathways:

• College Transfer - Designed for students planning to continue their educational career beyond high school to eventually achieve an Associate or Bachelor's degree at a community college or university. -Use this link to decide which pathway best fits your college/career plans. (Click the dropdown arrow under Wake Tech Degrees to learn more about each pathway)
  
  

• Career & Technical Education - Allows students to begin a certification or diploma program in a particular technical field or career area.

*Students can take up to two pathways, but if they do, one must be a Career and Technical Education pathway.

We recommend starting this program in the Fall of junior year. This provides 6 semesters to participate (Fall, Spring, and Summer of Junior and Senior years). Please use this link to determine eligibility in the program. 

9th & 10th Graders may be eligible to participate.  (See Can 9th & 10th graders participate in CCP? dropdown below for more information)

CCP pathways offer students rigorous and relevant coursework designed to engage their interests and help them achieve educational and career goals. For students interested in technical careers and post-secondary education, or at least exploring their options in this area, the courses they encounter as part of a CCP pathway will align closely with the level of work that will be expected of them after finishing high school.

In addition, research has shown that high school students who take college courses are more likely to attend and graduate from college with an advanced certification or degree. Finally, because CCP courses are tuition-free, the program also helps reduce the cost of a college degree, career certification, or diploma. CCP can make post-secondary education a viable option for students who may believe that the cost of college puts it out of reach for them.

• It is highly recommended that students very seriously consider whether they are ready to take college level classes. Classes taken at the community college level count towards a student's college and high school GPA and could potentially impact acceptance at a 4-year college or university.
  
  
• Please visit Wake Tech’s website to review their steps for applying. (New & Returning Students) The CCP New Student Application User Guide and CCP Continuing Student Form User Guides are helpful when applying. See the 8. How do I apply for CCP? section for additional information. 
  
  
• You will need a recent copy of your academic transcript for CCP.  To request a transcript, please visit the following link: https://tinyurl.com/GHtranscript Please choose the College and Career Promise (Electronic Copy) option and it will be processed within 48 hours. See “How do I request a transcript” section below for additional assistance. 
  
  
• You do not have to drop a class at Green Hope to take a CCP course.  CCP courses can be taken in addition to your Green Hope course load.
  
  
• Spring Semester Only Information: As you register for classes at Green Hope High for the upcoming school year, you will follow the exact same process as normal. You should select 8 primary classes and 4 alternates in PowerSchool for Green Hope course registration purposes. 
  
  

PLEASE NOTE:

• Wake Tech’s calendar does NOT align with the WCPSS calendar. These are two separate institutions. There may be overlapping classes/dates at the beginning and end of semesters. Plan accordingly when registering with Wake Tech. Students are not permitted to miss Green Hope classes to go to their CCP classes under any circumstances. 
  
  
• You are only allowed on GHHS’s campus for the periods that you are registered for a GHHS course. If you have early release or late arrival, you are not permitted to remain on Green Hope’s campus during those times. 
  
  
• GHHS parking spots are NOT guaranteed for any student, and this applies to CCP students as well. Participating in CCP does not increase your likelihood of receiving a parking spot.  CCP students are responsible for their transportation to and from school if they have a modified/reduced schedule. 
  
  
• WCPSS does not provide transportation to WTCC classes. Students must have their own transportation if classes are in-person.
  
  All signature request forms and other applicable documentation (test scores, AIG documentation, underclassmen intentions request forms, etc.) need to be submitted to the ghhsccp@wcpss.net email address by 10/11/2024 to be considered for priority. Students who submit all documentation will have their forms processed by Green Hope by 10/18/2024. 
  
  
  Please note that meeting the priority deadline does not guarantee Wake Tech's approval for CCP. Green Hope will process your signature request form first, followed by Wake Tech completing your application. 

Each application requires a signature request from the school to verify that you are making progress towards your high school graduation and are in good academic standing. All students should list Justin McIntyre, Dean of Students, (ghhsccp@wcpss.net) as the principal/designee on the Wake Tech Signature Request section of the application.  Please make sure you list the ghhsccp@wcpss.net email address for the Signature Request form and not a Green Hope staff member’s email address.

Failure to list the correct email address as well as sending multiple requests will delay your application being processed. Signature request forms submitted to other email addresses will be deleted. 

All signature request forms and other applicable documentation (test scores, AIG documentation, underclassmen intentions request forms, etc.) need to be submitted to the ghhsccp@wcpss.net email address.

Once Green Hope receives course enrollment confirmation from Wake Tech, you will receive the following forms from Student Services through our CCP Canvas Course.

This typically occurs 1-2 weeks after classes begin for that semester.

Forms Needed: (1) Dual Enrollment Agreement and (2) Green Hope CCP Agreement Form. These forms must be filled out each semester a student takes CCP classes.

Do not send forms to your academic counselor.  You will upload them to an assignment in the CCP Canvas course. (You will be invited to this course as soon as your signature request form is processed by Mr. McIntyre.)

Please visit Wake Tech’s website to review their steps for applying. (New & Returning Students) The CCP New Student Application User Guide and CCP Continuing Student Form User Guides are helpful when applying. 

Visit the New Students page, scroll down, and click the “apply now” button. Review this video or see below for a step by step view on how to apply. **When filling out the new student CCP application, students will select part-time student as the academic load and will select “Freshmen” in the application student type section. 

Using the Wake Tech CCP Checklists are helpful when keeping track of which step you are on in the application.  Search “New CCP student enrollment and pathway eligibility checklists” while on the New Students page to find the checklists. 

When applying, you should apply prior to the semester you want to begin (e.g. if you plan to start in spring 2025 you should apply during fall 2024). Students will register for summer and/or fall courses in the spring. (Check the Events and Important Deadlines page for more information)

*Summer & Fall Enrollment Period: Students who are interested in both Summer and Fall CCP enrollment should select Summer on their enrollment form. If approved for Summer, students will instructions on how to enroll for Fall also.

College Transfer Pathway: Courses 3SHC (Semester Hour of Credit)  and above carry 1 extra quality point added towards the high school GPA.  Courses taken under this pathway WILL be added to your high school transcript, regardless of the grade received.  Please review the DPI master course list here for more information. 

Career & Technical Education - Courses 3SHC and above carry the added point value referenced in the highlighted chart below regarding GPA (Standard = 0 added, Honors = .5 added, College/AP = 1 point added).  Courses taken under this pathway WILL be added to your high school transcript, regardless of the grade received. (Click here to review the course weights)

Review the Pathways Page to learn more about each pathway. You may also review the Pathways Video from Wake Tech.   You may also review this additional video about how to select the pathway that is best for you. 

*Students can take up to two pathways, but if they do, one must be a Career and Technical Education pathway.

If you are having trouble deciding, please make an appointment with a Wake Tech CCP advisor for more guidance. They are available to help you make the best decision on which pathway makes the most sense for you and your college/career goals. 

Transfer Equivalency Table: Wake Tech has partnered with CollegeSource TES® to provide students with a library of established transfer equivalencies from other higher education institutions. 

CFNC has a college transfer guide where students can search their 4 year institution and/or intended major and it suggests community college classes they should take. This tool is extremely helpful when planning potential courses. 

If you would like to “drop” a class to modify your schedule and reduce your Green Hope academic load, please email your completed/signed Early Release Late Arrival Form to your assigned academic counselor or turn it in to the Administrative Assistant, Ms. Murrane in Student Services. Schedule modification is only an option for Juniors and Seniors, and students must keep at least two classes at Green Hope per semester. 

Transfer Equivalency Table:  Click on the link and search “college board”. This will help you determine which AP tests/scores are eligible for college credit. It is recommended that you make an appointment with a CCP advisor to review scores and create a plan that works best for you.

Review this document for more information on direct graduation replacements. Speak with your Green Hope academic counselor BEFORE making your decision. 

The Pre-Calculus curriculum at Wake Tech is not designed to feed into our AP Calculus AB/BC courses here at Green Hope.  Our AP/Honors Pre-Calculus course is specifically designed to prepare you for success in AP Calculus at Green Hope. Students who pursue Pre-Calculus at Wake Tech must take a combination of 2 separate courses to meet the Pre-Calculus prerequisite for our AP Calculus course and even after those 2 courses, students may not be fully prepared for our AP Calculus courses at Green Hope.

Yes.  If you know that you would like to take Calculus 1, 2 or 3 at Wake Tech, you will need to fill out this Direct Placement Form. You can email the form to ccp@waketech.edu or you may attach it to your application. If you do not submit this form prior to self registration, you will not be allowed to sign up for a higher level math course as you will have not met the prerequisite.  Please review the Direct Placement Form for necessary scores and requirements on what is needed to take a higher level math.

Students may take as many CCP courses as they would like. However, please keep in mind that balance is key. As a reminder, grades received from Wake Tech will impact a student's high school and college GPA.

Yes. High school students must earn all required credits in their College Transfer Pathway (Associate in Arts, Science, or Fine Arts) before they are allowed to take additional courses within their preferred associate degree program. Students will earn an associate degree after they earn all required pathway and associate degree program credits.  

Review the Associate in Arts, Associate in Fine Arts, and Associate in Science Degrees Required Credits Document for a full list of course options once the pathway is completed. It is recommended to make an appointment with a Wake Tech advisor to plan out course options.

Available course sections/times/teachers/textbook information is public information and can be found by anyone here (even without an account):

• Wake Tech WebAdvisor

  • Click “Future Students”

  • Click “Admissions Information:

  • Click “Search for curriculum sections”

  • In “Term,” select the term you wish to take classes. 

  • In “Subject,” put the Course Abbreviation - ex. Psychology is PSY

  • In “Course Number,” put the number next to the abbreviation - ex. 150 - PSY “150”

  • Scroll Down and click “Submit”

  • All sections will appear

  • If there aren’t any seats available for the course, you can not attempt to register for it

Yes. (This is how seniors are able to take class after graduation in June. They begin taking classes in May.) Per the CCP enrollment process, students who wish to take CCP summer classes are considered to be in the grade they are currently completing. For example: If a current high school sophomore wishes to apply for summer classes through CCP, they are considered a sophomore until they actually start their junior year and must therefore meet the 9th/10th grade application requirements to be able to apply for CCP summer classes.

Yes. 

Eligibility Requirements

1. The student passed at least seventy (70) percent of the courses taken in the preceding semester; and
    
2. The student making sufficient progress toward meeting the academic and curricular requirements of the PSU and the State Board of Education to be promoted to the next grade level or to graduate within the next calendar year.

Yes. However, we recommend starting this program in the Fall of junior year. (Current Sophomore students will apply in the Spring for the Fall of the upcoming year).  This provides 6 semesters to participate (Fall, Spring, and Summer of Junior and Senior years) 

Instead of taking additional classes over the summer, we recommend spending time volunteering or getting a part-time job.  Both look great on resumes and help build essential soft skills for the future. 

It is recommended that 9th & 10th graders consider whether they are ready to take college level classes. Classes taken at the community college level count towards a student's college GPA and could potentially impact acceptance at a 4-year college or university. In addition, since early release/late arrival (at Green Hope) is not allowed for underclassmen, they would be taking a college level course on top of their full high school schedule. 

 If 9th or 10th graders choose to participate in CCP, they must meet ALL admission eligibility requirements with approved documentation. These requirements are set by the NC Community College System, not WCPSS. Please reach out to a CCP staff member for more information about eligibility requirements. 

Green Hope High School can assist underclassmen in obtaining:

• High School Transcript

• Existing AIG Documentation If you are already identified as AIG, please fill out the form to receive a copy of your current documentation.  (If you are not currently identified as AIG, please reach out to your academic counselor to request AIG testing.)

• Letter of recommendation from Principal Cleveland. (See “How to apply as a 9th or 10th grader” section below for more information)

Complete the New Student CCP Application as normal through the CCP Wake Tech website. Once a 9th or 10th grader has completed the application and sent the signature request form to (ghhsccp@wcpss.net), fill out the Underclassmen Intentions Request Form to let us know what semester you are applying for. Once completed, Mr. McIntyre will work on getting your recommendation letter from Principal Cleveland.

Do Not Reach Out to Principal Cleveland or Mr. McIntyre for the recommendation. You must fill out the underclassmen intentions request form to receive the recommendation.

Summer and Fall Semester Information

• Current Freshmen who do not complete the Underclassmen Intentions Request Form will not receive the required recommendation letter from Ms. Cleveland, which is necessary to participate in CCP.

• Current Sophomores who do not complete the Underclassmen Intentions Request Form will not receive the required recommendation letter from Ms. Cleveland to participate in CCP during the summer term. Failure to complete the form will also delay approval for the Fall term.

You will need to reach out to your assigned Green Hope academic counselor to determine if the Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathway would be the right fit for you. You will work with them to receive the necessary documentation to participate in the CTE pathway if deemed appropriate. 

(You must meet all requirements to participate in the College Transfer pathway.)

GHHS counselors can assist with questions regarding academic/course requirements and scheduling options. (e.g Early Release/Late Arrival) Stop by Counselor Corner (table outside of Student Services) before school or during lunch with questions. 

General questions should not be sent to the ghhsccp@wcpss.net email address. The email inbox is monitored for approval requests only. 

Career & College Promise staff can help both new and continuing CCP students through admissions and advising appointments. Students can ask questions about status updates, pathway options, course descriptions, direct placement and more using this Virtual Advising Appointment link.

In addition to online appointments, CCP advisors are available at the following locations for in-person meetings, and no appointment is needed:

Directions should have been sent to the email address you have entered on your application.  Please visit the ITS Help Topic Page. You can email helpdesk@waketech.edu or call at 919-866-7000 for assistance getting set up. Green Hope does not have any control over the Wake Tech system and will be unable to assist.

Students requesting a change of pathway must go through their Wake Tech account in order to do so. Please list the ghhsccp@wcpss.net email address when electronically sending the form.  

Yes. You will need an updated version of your transcript each semester you take classes through CCP. Request one through this link.

Wake Tech will send all transcripts to Green Hope once the semester ends. (Typically 2 weeks after the semester ends) Once received, our data manager will work on inputting the grades into PowerSchool.  Classes will be added before class rank is calculated.

Yes. Please review drop deadlines under the Events and Important Deadlines page. Please reach out to a CCP staff member AND your academic counselor at Green Hope BEFORE you drop your class. Green Hope will include the grades we obtain from Wake Tech in your high school transcript. Please review the Wake Tech grading scale here. 

*For reference, a “W” or “WP” will translate to a “WP” in our system. A WP means “Withdrawal, no penalty” and does not have GPA implications. However, a “WF” (Withdrawal, with penalty) will translate to an F on your high school transcript.*
