Registration policies

You can use the MyCollege section search tool to browse which courses are available for the term you want to register for. Always talk with your academic advisor before registering for courses to confirm which courses you need to stay on track.

If you want to register for an online course at Central Piedmont and you have not taken an online course here before, or if you have earned less than a "C" or have withdrawn from all of your online classes within the last three years, you must complete the Online Learning Intro before you can register for the online course. You must complete this before you can take an online course at Central Piedmont even if you have taken online courses somewhere else.

After registration ends, you can change your schedule (add and drop courses) during the schedule adjustment period for that term. The schedule adjustment period is the last days you can add courses for that term. The schedule adjustment period for each semester, short, and mini session is the first and second weekday of the term. Review registration policies to learn more. We list schedule adjustment periods on this page and on the college calendar.

Consult with your advisor or enrollment specialist for guidance on registering for classes once you have enrolled.

Some courses are restricted at first so that only a certain group/cohort of students can register before other students can register. If you try to register for a course like this and you are not part of the group/cohort that the course is reserved for, you will be unable to register for the course. If there are still seats available once the group has registered, you can request permission to register for the course.

To find out who a course is restricted for:

1. Go to schedule.cpcc.edu.
2. Search the course you are trying to register for.

Your registration is not final until you have paid your balance due. Learn about tuition and payment dates and methods.

If you are enrolled full time and you need an undergraduate course that is not offered at Central Piedmont in order to progress toward graduation, you may apply to complete that course at another Greater Charlotte Consortium school.
