In today's global economy, successful careers could require a two-or four-year degree, a diploma or nationally recognized job credential. Career & College Promise offers North Carolina high school students a clear path to success in college or in a career. The program is free to all students who maintain a 3.0 GPA ("B average") and meet other eligibility requirements. Career & College Promise is Governor Bev Perdue's commitment to helping every qualified student gain access to an affordable college education. Through a partnership of the Department of Public Instruction, the N.C. Community College System, the University of North Carolina system and many independent colleges and universities, North Carolina is helping eligible 11th and 12th grade high school students to begin earning college credit at a community college campus at no cost to them or their families. Three pathways offer students the opportunity to earn: - College credit completely transferrable to all UNC System Institutions and many of North Carolina's Independent Colleges and Universities. - A credential, certificate or diploma in a technical career. - A high school diploma and two years of college credit in four to five years through innovative cooperative high schools (Randolph Early College High School).

These courses are designed for students who plan to enter college. These challenging curriculums are offered in collaboration with Randolph Community College. Randolph Community College provides the instruction and course content for these courses. Placement tests must be taken and successfully completed to gain entry into the program. Dual credit will be awarded for courses that meet the depth, breadth and rigor as deemed appropriate by the superintendent.
 * CCP Courses:**

Courses selected have been articulated with the North Carolina University system as approved transfer courses. Students planning to transfer to colleges outside the North Carolina University System should consult the catalog of the institution to which they plan to transfer to guide them in selecting acceptable courses for transfer to a senior college or university. Students may have to purchase their own textbooks; however, they will not have to pay tuition. To be eligible to receive financial aid from RCC after graduation from high school, the student must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward an eligible program of study. The student must successfully complete 67% of the cumulative credit hours attempted to meet the minimum requirement. Example: if the student attempts 12 credit hours during enrollment, the student must successfully complete 8 credit hours (12 hours attempted x 67% = 8 hours). Successful completion is defined as receiving a grade of A, B, C, D.

Effective January 1, 2012, the State Board of Education and the State Board of Community Colleges established the Career and College Promise program. Career and College Promise provides seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students in order to accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills. North Carolina community colleges (including Randolph Community College) may offer the following Career and College Promise pathways aligned with the K-12 curriculum and career and college ready standards adopted by the State Board of Education: 1.
