How do I join Phi Theta Kappa (Phi Lambda chapter at CPCC)? 
Eligible students are issued an invitation to join by the President of CPCC. 
In order to be eligible, a student must have completed 12 hours of curricular work, be registered for 1 curricular course in the current semester, and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. 
For example: If you meet the academic requirement of a 3.5 cumulative GPA in the spring semester, you will be invited to join in the following fall semester.

Do I have to pay dues? 
There is a one-time fee of $100.00. No further dues or payments will be charged. This covers the international cost for membership, pin, certificate and the after induction party that follows the ceremony. 

Where do I pay and how do I fill out my check? 
Pay at the cashiers office at any CPCC campus. Please get two copies of your receipt to include with your completed application form. Make your check payable to CPCC. DO NOT make your check out to Phi Theta Kappa or Phi Lambda.

What exactly is the authorized Graduation Regalia at CPCC? 
The Phi Theta Kappa stole and the Phi Theta Kappa tassel are the ONLY items that graduates are allowed to wear at graduation in addition to the CPCC purchased cap, gown and grade point average cord.
The cords are not allowed because CPCC issues you a cord based on your GPA with your cap and gown order. Therefore, to avoid confusion, the Phi Theta Kappa cords are not allowed. 

I received a letter last year but did not join. I want to join now. Am I still eligible? 
Yes! As long as you are a current student, (signed up for at least one curriculum class) and you still meet the cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. Download the application form here.

Where do I drop off my completed application or invitation form
Completed forms and two copies of your cashiers' receipt may be dropped off at the PTK office in Overcash 248B at Central Campus, or at Student Life on any campus.
