CCC Joins Wolfpack Connect
Cleveland Community College has joined other community colleges across the state in partnering with North Carolina State University on the Wolfpack Connect Guaranteed Admission Agreement.
The agreement creates a seamless and supportive pathway for CCC students enrolled in eligible academic programs to transfer to NC State and complete their bachelor’s degrees. These students will be able to transition to NC State with guaranteed admission, provided they meet established criteria.
“This partnership represents what higher education is all about. We are creating opportunity, eliminating barriers and investing in the success of our students,” said Dr. Jason Hurst, president of CCC.
CCC students interested in participating in Wolfpack Connect must have no more than 30 transferable college credits at the time they join the program. Students should have one year of coursework left to complete at CCC when they start Wolfpack Connect.
Once a student is accepted into Wolfpack Connect, they are expected to maintain active participation in the program, maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher while enrolled at CCC, complete an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree, and meet all NC State transfer deadlines and program-specific requirements. Participating students will have access to the NC State Transfer Planner Tool and transfer application advising sessions to help them stay on track with meeting their requirements.
On Monday, March 2, Dr. Hurst joined Kevin Howell, NC State University’s chancellor, on the NC State campus for a signing ceremony to commemorate this new partnership. Dr. Hurst was accompanied by Dr. Bruce Mack, vice president of academic affairs; Nedra Maddox, dean of student support; Tyra Silvers, dean of arts and sciences; and Sarah Thomas, director of advising and retention.
