Career and College Promise

Career and College Promise, or CCP, allows eligible high school Juniors and seniors (3.0 Weighted GPA or higher) to take college courses at Wake Tech (Also Central Carolina Community College). It’s sometimes referred to as dual enrollment, and the program has had other names in the past (Huskins, Learn and Earn).

Big Update!
Wake Technical Community College is currently providing its mandatory information sessions across Wake County Schools and their campuses for the summer and fall semesters of 2017. Please use the link below to sign up for one of these sessions. It is required to participate in the program. This is the program that allows eligible high school juniors and seniors to take tuition-free college courses at Wake Tech. There are face-to-face and online courses available. If the student makes a C or higher in a “UGETC” (University General Education Transfer Credit) course, the credit is guaranteed to count at any 4 year public college in the state of NC (many private colleges as well)! We have heard from the admissions department at UNC Chapel Hill and NC State, that they view these courses exactly the same as AP Level High School courses in terms of rigor! This is a great way to save money for college and improve your college application resume while getting electives (AP rigor-level) towards high school graduation!

In order to participate in CCP at Wake Tech, the first step is for the student and a parent/guardian to attend a mandatory information session at Wake Tech the semester before they plan on taking courses. Without attending this information session, the student will not be able to participate in the program. The student and parent will receive important information and required documents/forms at this session. The link below shows the next available sessions:

CCP at CCCC

Apex High School is located in Wake County, but Central Carolina Community College is another option for tuition-free dual enrollment courses as well. Their campus location is a better option for some of our students, so they do accept Apex High School students for CCP courses when there are available seats left in courses. The link below has all of the steps for enrolling in their program:
