- Are homeschool and private school students eligible to participate in Career & College Promise?
Yes, students attending a registered home school or a private school may participate in CCP, including Continuing Education courses (see the CCP Handbook for details). Generally, private school students are required to establish eligibility using the same criteria applied to public school students (GPA, assessment scores). Home school students and students from private schools not using traditional grading scales shall follow the community college’s established procedures for assessing eligibility and determining placement. Homeschool/private students have access to free tuition but will need to cover their book fee(s). A transcript must be supplied, as well.

This is a lot of technical jargon, but it ultimately comes down to who you, the student, gives permission to access any of your educational files and/or records. Please clarify this information with your High School Hub representative or someone in Student Services.
For more information, view RCC’s policy here:
Students with disabilities may contact the office of Student Services for assistance. It is recommended that students meet with the disability professional at Randolph Community College to learn how to receive accommodations for college classes. Tammy Cheek can be reached at 336-633-0246 or twcheek@randolph.edu. Policies regarding accommodations for college classes are different from policies for high school class accommodations.
Information on accommodations for students at RCC can be accessed here.
- Can high school students enroll in a community college outside of Career & College Promise?
No, except for some non-credit courses taken on a self-supporting basis, including safe driving courses.
- What is the maximum number of college credits that a CCP student can take?
CCP students can take six classes per 16-week term and three classes per 8-week term. Students must complete the entire CCP pathway before pursuing additional courses. All CCP participants must maintain eligibility status as noted in our CCP Student Handbook below.
-
Will CCP students receive honors or AP credit for completing college courses?
All community college courses included on the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) will receive weighted credit in accordance with NCDPI policy GCS-L-004. CTE and other courses not included in the CAA are not eligible for weighted credit.
-
Are there any community college courses that DPI will allow to count towards high school core course graduation requirements?
Yes, principals are permitted to award dual credit based upon course content relative to available high school courses and State Board of Education policy GCS-M-001, which allows students in a College Transfer pathway to receive high school credit toward graduation requirements using community college courses. Additionally, some CTE college courses may count towards high school CTE core requirements. Contact the high school counselor or principal for more information.
Funding
- Who pays the cost of the student’s textbooks?
Textbooks are a student’s responsibility, however there may be local provisions for them. A student’s high school, the school district, or another local organization may cover these costs. Students should check with their principal or counselor to verify how these costs are paid.
- Are student fees (e.g., technology fees and insurance fees) waived in addition to the waived tuition for CCP students?
No, however local school districts and community colleges should work together to determine whether and how student fees will be paid for CCP participants.
- Are any funds available to assist the high schools with transporting students to the college’s campus?
No additional transportation funding is available for CCP students.
