Central Piedmont launches new digital front door to help students navigate college with confidence
Sep 17, 2026
Central Piedmont Community College has launched a redesigned cpcc.edu, creating a more intuitive, student-centered digital experience that makes it easier for prospective and current students to find information, explore academic programs and take the next step toward their educational goals.
"At Central Piedmont, we are committed to removing barriers and creating a seamless experience for the students and community members we serve," said Catherine Butler, vice president of communications, advancement and external engagement. "As the digital front door to the college, our new mobile-first website meets students and community members where they are – making it easier to find and explore opportunities and connect with the programs and services that help students achieve their goals. Whether someone is considering college for the first time, pursuing workforce training or seeking ways to partner with the college, this new digital experience puts the information they need within reach."
Student-focused design
The new website features:
- A new application guidance tool that helps prospective students identify the correct application pathway
- An integrated program finder that makes it easier to explore both curriculum and short-term training offerings
- A mobile-first design
- Streamlined navigation and improved accessibility
The redesign positions the website as the college's primary digital front door, providing a clearer pathway for students to discover programs, understand enrollment requirements, learn how to pay for college and access support services.
Improved navigation for community members
In addition to serving students, the redesigned website enhances access to information for employers, donors, community partners and local residents. Dedicated navigation pathways make it easier to connect with workforce development programs, small business resources, facilities rentals, community events, galleries, clinics, camps and more.
The website redesign is part of Central Piedmont's ongoing efforts to improve the student experience and connect more prospective learners to educational and workforce opportunities throughout the region.
