The transition to college from high school can be a confusing one especially for parents. The Office of Outreach and Recruitment is here to answer any questions you may have to make this change a smooth one. Together we can help them Get There!

Steps to Take

1. Apply online at www.cpcc.edu or at any of our six campuses.

The Accuplacer test is a placement test whose results determine a student's placement in college or developmental courses. No college credit is given for developmental courses so it's important to understand the importance of taking this test seriously.

3.  Visit CPCC's Financial Aid website at http://www1.cpcc.edu/financial_aid. Be sure to complete a FAFSA application by June 1st to know the options for paying your students tuition.
