Learn when classes start, when you can register, and how to register. Registration for spring 2021 opens Friday, October 30, and you can still register for fall. Continue reading for details.

College Credit-Seeking Students

You can register for classes after you enroll, attend orientation, and meet with an academic advisor. Give yourself plenty of time to enroll based on when you want to start classes.

In addition to full semester (16-weeks) courses, courses are also offered within the full semester in 12-week, short (8-week) session, or mini (4-week) session formats. There is a priority registration period and an open registration period for each semester. Priority registration is when registration first opens for all terms in a semester. After priority and open registration end for a semester, you can still register for short and mini session courses that have not started yet.

Continue reading for details on term dates, when you can register, and schedule adjustment dates.

How to Register
1. Make sure you have enrolled, attended orientation, and met with an academic advisor.
2. Confirm semester/session start dates and the date when you can start registering for classes for each semester. Check in with your academic advisor each semester before registering.
3. Register. You can register online in MyCollege or register in the Central Piedmont mobile app.

Registration policies
Requirement for Taking Online Courses: Online Learning Introduction

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at Central Piedmont and you have not taken an online course here before, or if you have earned less than a "C" or have withdrawn from all of your online classes within the last three years, you must complete the Online Learning Intro before you can register for the online course.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.
Search Available Courses

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.
Schedule Adjustment (Drop-Add) Periods

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

Granted Petitions (Restricted Courses)
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.
Tuition and Payment

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

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.
