Applying to Central Carolina Community College is a simple process. The admission steps can be found online. Simply decide what type of student you are and follow the path.

Central Carolina Community College does not charge an application fee.

We also require:

• An official copy of your high school transcript sent directly from your high school to our college OR an official transcript of other high school completion (GED scores, etc.)
• An official transcript from any college(s) you have attended. We must receive a transcript for all college work you have done, whether you graduated or not.
• Submit any test scores you have within the last ten years (SAT, ACT, Asset, Compass, or Accuplacer).

If a student has graduated from high school or completed a GED within the past ten years, then the high school unweighted GPA or GED score would be used to place the student into their gateway English and Math. Students would be eligible to take the placement test if they meet one of the following criteria: graduated high school more than ten years ago, completed GED more than ten years ago, or the student is an international student. For more information and to schedule a test, visit the placement testing website

It is the student's responsibility to request and submit all admissions requirements.

No. Official transcripts must be sent in a sealed envelope. A transcript is an "official transcript" when it is received by the college through the mail directly from the high school, college, or other institution. Additionally, official transcripts can be sent electronically to success@cccc.edu. For more information about transcripts, review the Student Records and Registrar's Transcripts website.

We must receive your application for admission and all official transcripts for you to be officially accepted. Once we are in receipt of these requirements, you will meet with an Education Navigator to discuss your acceptance.

The process of obtaining all of your paperwork can take weeks. The sooner you apply and start the application process, the sooner you will find out when you may enter school.

Once you apply and we have received all of your paperwork, you will have a permanent file. You will need to update your application if you have not attended school for over one year. You will not have to re-submit new transcripts or placement test scores unless it has been over 5 years since your last date of attendance.

Yes. Students can take a class and not pursue a degree, diploma, or certificate program. Students will enroll as a "Special Credit" student. In order to take a class, special credit students need only to file an application. Special credit students are not eligible to receive financial aid or VA benefits and must meet all prerequisite and/or corequisite requirements for each course, if applicable.

Special credit students who later decide to pursue a program will need to complete all of the admission requirements of their declared program.

Yes. Students who will be transferring their Central Carolina Community College course to another institution will apply as a "Special Credit" student. Students are urged to check with their institution prior to taking the course to ensure the course is transferable. Students transferring their CCCC course to another institution must meet all of the prerequisite and/or corequisite requirements of every course, if applicable. An official transcript must be provided to document that the prerequisite was met before the CCCC course starts.

To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, a person must have established legal residence in North Carolina and maintained that legal residence for at least 12 months prior to applying to CCCC. Furthermore, a student must establish that his or her presence in North Carolina currently is, and during the 12 month qualifying period was, for purposes of maintaining a bona fide domicile rather than of maintaining a mere temporary residence to enroll in an institution of higher education.

Chapter 116-143.1 of the NC General Statutes covers the requirements for determining resident status for tuition purposes.

All applicants are required to complete the North Carolina Residency Determination. Residency determination establishes if students will be charged in-state or out-of-state tuition. You must complete the NC Residency Determination before completing a college application.

Military service members and their eligible dependents are considered in-state for tuition purposes. The student must be serving on active military duty (permanently stationed in North Carolina) or be a family member of an active duty service person permanently stationed in North Carolina. To qualify, the student must complete an "Application for the Benefit of the In State Tuition Rate as a Member of the Armed Services or Family Member Relative Thereof." This application can be obtained from the Student Development Services Office.

We do distribute printed copies of the college catalog, but we encourage students to view the catalog online.
