The College Experience Program provides Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) high school students with a head start on a college education, advanced vocational preparation and personal enrichment opportunities. And tuition and fees are waived! (Some courses carry a mandatory student accident insurance fee that cannot be waived). Students must get approval from their CMS high school Career Development Coordinator (CDC) to enroll.
