First Year Experience

The transition to college can be an overwhelming experience. This program helps first year students, and their families, successfully transition to college by hosting a variety of events to educate students and family members on CPCC and its many support services.

Student Success Center

Five of our six campus locations are home to a Student Success Center (SSC). Each center offers a broad spectrum of services and resources that meet your specialized needs as a student. Consider your campus’s SSC as your one-stop shop for information and guidance, tutorial assistance, advising and counseling, and more.

New Student Orientation

We want your CPCC experience to start off on the right foot. That’s why we’ve created New Student Orientation. During this one-day event, our staff hosts a variety of forums to teach you and your family about our registration process, campus life, financial aid packages, concurrent enrollment options and Career Services office – all with your academic success in mind.

Placement Testing

Placement testing provides an accurate and timely assessment of a student’s academic proficiency levels which help determine the most appropriate courses in English, reading, and math. Learn more about the placement and clep testing services at the College.
