Next Steps for Admitted Students
After you have completed your Central Piedmont application, you will attend orientation, and meet with your advisor to discuss your program and choose your classes.
Here are your next steps
-
Attend Orientation
New student orientation is required and will help you learn about Central Piedmont. At orientation, you will explore campus programs and support services to help you be a successful student. Complete orientation online in Brightspace if you have access, or send us an email if access is needed. You can also attend an in-person session at one of our six campuses.
-
Meet With Your Advisor
If you are interested in a Healthcare career, please watch the Online Health Career Orientation Video before emailing the health sciences department to schedule an appointment with your advisor.
Your advisor is your academic guide through college. Advisors help you explore your academic interests to determine which courses you should take next for your program. Your personal academic advisor will be assigned based on your academic and career pathway or program, and will help you register for classes in MyCollege (login required). Learn more about class options and how to read the class schedule.

Pay for Your Classes
Check your financial aid application status, find your balance, and pay your bill in MyCollege.
Review dates and deadlines for payment. If you owe at least $200, you can sign up for the tuition payment plan.
Apply for scholarships through Central Piedmont.
If your employer is helping to pay your tuition, visit the Sponsored Programs page.

Access Your Online Resources
From our Current Students page, you can access online systems, including Email, Watermark to communicate with your Advisor, MyCollege to do things like register and pay for classes, and Brightspace to complete your online coursework.
