High School Students
A "current high school student" is defined as a student who wishes to take college credit courses while still enrolled in high school. Career and College Promise (formerly Huskins Bill, Dual Enrollment, and Learn & Earn Online) is a program for current high school students who are juniors or seniors and wish to take selected college credit courses.
Cleveland Community College offers high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while simultaneously being enrolled in traditional high school classes.
Beginning Spring 2012, the North Carolina Career and College Promise (CCP) will replace Huskins, Dual Enrollment, and Learn and Earn Online (LEO) programs. CCP offers three pathways designed to give motivated high school students a head start on college and career training. The purpose of Career and College Promise is to offer structured opportunities for qualified high school juniors and seniors to enroll in community college courses that provide pathways that lead to a certificate, diploma, or degree as well as provide entry-level jobs skills.
Academic credits earned through CCP shall enable students who continue into postsecondary education after graduating from high school to complete a postsecondary credential in less time than would normally be required. Beginning spring semester 2012, Cleveland Community College will offer three pathways: Career and Technical Education, College Transfer, and Cooperative Innovative High Schools Program. For more information on Career and College Promise and to be added to our CCP mailing list, please click here.
All Career and College Promise students must complete the following:
- Complete an application for admission (paper application or online). Applicants may request a counseling interview in Student Services by calling 704-669-4103.
- Submit high school transcript (showing PLAN, PSAT, SAT, or ACT scores if necessary)
- Take the Placement test: Students must demonstrate college readiness on an assessment or placement test in order to register as a CCP student. Placement Testing schedules and practice test questions are available in the Student Success Center. Students can also use official test scores from these approved diagnostic assessment tests in order to meet program eligibility requirements and course prerequisites: PLAN, PSAT, ASSET, COMPASS, and SAT/ACT scores.

CCC will be offering Career and College Promise students the following academic pathways for the Spring 2012 semester. Students can only take the courses in their selected pathway. For a class description or prerequisite information, please refer to the Course Descriptions in the CCC Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook.
Through local and state articulation agreements, qualified students may be able to transfer or "articulate" high school Career - Technical Education (CTE) credits to Cleveland Community College through the Articulated Credit program.
Articulation is a systematic, seamless student transition process from secondary to postsecondary education that maximizes use of resources and minimizes content duplication. Students will make a seamless transition of identified courses from secondary to postsecondary education. The following criteria will be used to award college credit for identified high school courses:
- Enroll in a member institution of the NCCCS authorized to offer the applicable college courses within two years of their high school graduation.
- Submit a completed Articulation Credit Request form to Student Services for processing.
- Submit an official secondary transcript to determine the college credit to be awarded.
- Receive a grade of "B" or higher in the course.
- Be "Proficient" in the course by receiving a Level II on the Career Technical Education course post-assessment or receive national certification from the National Center for Construction Education Research (NCCER). This requirement will not apply when the course post-assessment is a "state field test" from the NC Department of Public Instruction.
To receive articulated credit, students must enroll at the community college within two years of their high school graduation date. Please visit the Articulated Credit webpage on our website at www.clevelandcc.edu to obtain the Articulated Credit Request form and additional information.
Articulated Credit- How do I get started?
Each high school student must obtain and have completed the necessary paperwork for articulated credit. The Articulated Credit Request form (link to form) is required for verification and must be completed by both the student and the high school CTE counselor. Upon enrolling at CCC, contact your counselor at the high school where you took the course(s), to ensure that your Articulated Credit Request form has been verified and returned to CCC. All students seeking articulated credit must also request a final official copy of their high school transcript be forwarded to CCC.
