Learning College
In 2003, Central Piedmont Community College launched an
institutional initiative to transform the College into a more
learning-centered organization. A learning college places learning
first in all decisions and shifts the focus to documented learning
outcomes. CPCC creates learning environments that encourage
students to think for themselves. We consider the entire College a
community in learning and work collaboratively to create
substantive change in all our learners. We consider ourselves
successful only when improved learning can be documented.
Core Competencies
In support of the Learning College initiative, four core
competencies have been identified as critical to the success of
CPCC graduates. All graduates are expected to demonstrate
achievement in each of the following competencies:
• Communication: the ability to read, write, speak, listen and
use nonverbal skills effectively with different audiences
• Critical Thinking: the ability to think using analysis,
synthesis, evaluation, problem solving, judgment and the
creative process
• Personal Growth & Responsibility: the ability to understand
and manage self, to function effectively in social and
professional environments and to make reasoned judgments
based on an understanding of the diversity of the world
community
• Information Technology & Quantitative Literacy: the ability
to locate, understand, evaluate and synthesize information
and data in a technological and data driven society
History of the College
Central Piedmont Community College’s history centers not so
much on bricks and mortar, books, or research and development.
The history centers more on the many people who have played a
role in developing the College. A host of unsung heroes—from
secretaries to counselors to faculty to administrators—has
dedicated themselves to building the great institution that is
CPCC.
Since its beginning, the College has been a national pacesetter
in education. Standouts on the CPCC roster include a Pulitzer
Prize winner, a Metropolitan Opera star, an Olympic gold
medalist, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner, a television
actress and a pro football player. Countless others—chefs,
healthcare providers, technicians, real estate brokers, paralegals,
firefighters, law enforcement officers, trades people and others
who serve our community—share CPCC’s proud tradition.
CPCC has been providing educational opportunities since
1963, the year that the North Carolina General Assembly passed
the community college bill. Opening as a fully-integrated
institution under the direction of Dr. Richard H. Hagemeyer, the
founding president, the College combined the programs of
Central Industrial Education Center on Elizabeth Avenue and
Mecklenburg College on Beatties Ford Road.
The College sold its property on Beatties Ford Road and
developed a campus around the old Central High School
complex. Starting with 3.94 acres, the College bought
surrounding property, demolished buildings and closed streets
to build the beautiful, tree shaded, 31-acre Central Campus that
students and faculty now enjoy.
From its inception, the College was innovative in its teaching
methods. CPCC soon garnered national recognition for its
individualized instruction and computer-assisted instruction. In
1970, the College was invited to join the prestigious League for
Innovation in the Community College.
After Dr. Hagemeyer’s retirement in 1986, Dr. Ruth Shaw was
selected as the College’s second president. Under her leadership,
the College added the Advanced Technologies Center and the
Center for Automotive Technology and began acquiring land for
additional campuses.
Dr. Tony Zeiss, CPCC’s third president, has led the College
since December 1992. He is devoted to the mission of CPCC and
to serving students and the community through customized
training and workforce development. Under his direction, CPCC
became a multi-campus community college in 1996 with the
conversion of the North Area Learning Center in Huntersville to
the North Campus. Four other campuses subsequently opened;
Mission Statement
the Levine Campus in 1998, the Harper Campus in 1999, the
Harris Campus in 2001 and the Cato Campus in 2002. CPCC
now has full-service campuses across Mecklenburg County.
CPCC has grown from a small College with a dozen programs
serving 1,600 students to one with 285 degree, diploma and
certificate programs serving approximately 70,000 people in an
array of credit and non-credit offerings. The College is the
county’s premier workforce development resource, offering its
educational services throughout the area.
The College is currently embarking on more capital
improvements and expansion to serve the growing region. As
always, the College is growing because the citizens of Mecklenburg
County know that their investment in CPCC is changing their lives
for the better.

 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Educational Vision Statement
The College community envisions a future for this growing
metropolitan area where there is a strong sense of community
and life is rewarding - a future built upon the full participation
and success of all citizens and the best possible use of human,
financial and natural resources.
We will take a vigorous leadership role in identifying and
addressing the issues which are pivotal in making this vision a
reality, for we recognize that our present and future are closely
entwined with the health and vitality of the greater Charlotte-
Mecklenburg region.
Central to our effort is maintaining excellence as we adapt
our comprehensive programs and services to meet the
educational needs of a constantly changing, technologically
advanced, interdependent and complex world. More than ever
before, students need advanced communication and
computational skills and the ability to acquire and apply
knowledge throughout their lives. Students also need to develop
attitudes which support personal development and ethical
understandings which will build regional and global community.
CPCC’s leadership role requires us to explore new academic and
administrative paths as we educate and support our students. As
we grow and change, we will reflect on our efforts and
demonstrate accountability for the proper and wise use of
resources. We will continue to pursue innovative and improved
methods to support and assess student learning.
CPCC’s educational vision will be realized in an increasingly
diverse community and world. Although diversity presents many
challenges, we perceive diversity as a strength. Our students
mirror the community, coming to us with differences in academic
preparation and intent, demographic and socio-economic
backgrounds and cultural/ethnic influences. In honoring our
commitment to the open-door concept, we are determined to
provide the appropriate support which gives meaning to access.
We realize we cannot achieve this vision alone; partnerships
with other institutions, in our area and beyond, are critical factors
in our success. We believe that building a teaching and learning
community in its broadest and best sense encompasses a concern
for the whole, for integration and collaboration, for openness and
integrity and for inclusiveness and self-renewal.
Programs and Services
To carry out CPCC’s mission, the College provides
educational programs and services in the following areas:
Business, Community Service, Health and
Mission Statement
Technology Programs
The cornerstone of the Community College System in North
Carolina is the preparation of students for a first career, career
change and career advancement to meet individual goals and
regional needs. The College provides career programs in a broad
range of occupational areas. Associate in Applied Science
(A.A.S.) degrees and shorter-term diploma and certificate
programs are offered. In support of these programs, the College
continues to form major partnerships with business and industry.
A.A.S. degree graduates develop marketable employment
skills and college-level academic skills. In some cases, courses
within the programs are transferable to colleges and universities.
Students may reach other career goals such as updating job
skills, career advancement and re-entry into the work force with
10 marketable skills through these programs.
Transfer Programs
From its inception, the College has provided the first two
years of study in the arts and sciences and pre-professional fields
for those students who wish to transfer to four-year colleges and
universities. Students are able to transfer courses or an associate
degree to four-year colleges, prepared with the background and
skills necessary to succeed in their further studies. Graduates
have a foundation in their areas of specialization, have college-
level academic skills and have successfully completed the
general education core curriculum.
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement became effective
in 1997. This agreement addresses the transfer of credits between
institutions in the North Carolina Community College System
and from that system to constituent institutions of the University
of North Carolina. Community college graduates of the A.A. and
A.S. programs who have completed the general education
transfer core will be considered to have fulfilled the institution-
wide, lower division general education requirements of the
receiving institution.
Basic Skills Programs
A basic premise of the community college movement is the
expansion of educational opportunities for all adults and basic
skills programs are designed to provide the necessary skills and
confidence for successful employment and further education.
CPCC provides opportunities to learn basic literacy and
functional living skills: Adult ESL enables students to master
English as a Second Language, while Adult High School and
GED programs assist students in completing high school.
Corporate and Continuing Education
Corporate and Continuing Education (CCE) is offered across
College disciplines and in relevant and popular topic areas
through non-credit programming, events and services for
individuals and employers. With flexibility in design, content and
delivery, CCE plays a significant role in meeting the training
needs of business and industry. Strong partnerships with
governmental and community organizations allow the College to
leverage multiple funding sources and to provide targeted and
often hands-on skill training and knowledge to ensure a ready
and reliable workforce.
For individuals, CCE offers year-round programming and
services to help adults meet their professional and personal goals,
including starting or growing a small business or preparing for
retirement. Such a comprehensive selection allows individuals to
earn certifications and professional licensure-track courses, as
well as to pursue recreational and leisure programming.
Community Service
Service to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community has long
been one of the core values of CPCC. The College offers a wide
range of high quality speakers and cultural and artistic events and
responds to community needs by providing civic education and
professional and technical assistance. Additionally, the College
has a Service-Learning Center whose mission is to promote civic
engagement and develop a culture of service on the campus
among students, faculty and staff. This program has supported
the efforts of hundreds of local agencies and assisted our students
in becoming more engaged citizens and learners.
International Programs and Services
In 1999, CPCC combined many of its programs and services
to meet the needs of the region’s growing international
population. Students from many nations may access several
levels of credit English language classes through the International
Programs and Services Office.
Enrollment and Student Services
Enrollment and Student Services (ESS) is committed to
providing quality educational support to ensure student success
for a diverse student population. Services provided include
recruitment, enrollment, financial aid, academic advising and
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
tutoring, career and personal counseling, disability services,
international services, testing, and student activities. ESS works
collaboratively with academic units to support the mission of the
College through comprehensive student-centered initiatives.
Instructional Development
CPCC is a leader among community colleges in instructional
development and support. Experimentation and innovation in
instruction and the use of alternative instructional delivery
systems remain major initiatives.
The College provides support for instructors to experiment
with non-traditional modes of teaching and learning through
classroom research, through the use of technology incorporated
into the classroom and through alternative delivery systems and
scheduling. The Instructional Support area provides media and
learning services that give support to instructors and students to
enhance the teaching and learning process.
Administrative Support
CPCC administration provides effective leadership by setting
the tone and direction for the College and by granting employees
the authority and resources to carry out their duties.
The College efficiently and effectively expends its resources
and is committed to maintaining a leadership role in its
utilization of personnel and facilities. These effective
administrative processes allow the College to focus on its
primary mission of providing the highest quality educational
programs and services.

gathering information about senior institutions, the TRC
maintains a library of college catalogs and brings admissions
representatives from senior institutions to CPCC to talk with
prospective transfer students through a program called Transfer
Tuesdays. In addition to individual college visits, the TRC hosts
a college transfer fair each fall semester, bringing colleges and
universities from across North Carolina and the southeast to

workshops to prepare students holistically for the transition to a
university setting.

Counseling and Advisement

To foster total student development, CPCC operates an
integrated counseling and advisement system, that includes
counselors, academic advisors, faculty advisors and staff.
Assistance is provided in the areas of academic, personal and
career counseling; academic assessment and advising; and high
school matriculation.
Academic advisors provide professional guidance services
for students as they begin their journey at the College.
Assistance is provided to help students with appropriate
placement, course selection and in understanding institutional
policies and procedures. Advisors also work with students
during times of transition, providing help when students re-enter
college after time away or when they want to change their
program of study.
Specialized advising for students who wish to transfer to
four year colleges or universities is also available. Academic
Advisors assist students in developing individualized transfer
plans, reviewing college options, setting goals and other
activities to facilitate the transfer process.
Counselors serve as an integral part of the teaching and
learning process. In addition to providing academic advising,
Counselors assist students in exploring alternatives, developing
goals and designing a specialized academic success plan for goal
achievement. The counseling staff helps students deal with issues
that may adversely affect their persistence. These efforts include
the Personal Counseling Assistance Program (P-CAP) which
provides confidential and professional counseling to students
facing personal issues that may hinder their progress. The
counseling staff makes appropriate medical or agency referrals
when additional help is needed.
Students are encouraged to schedule appointments, but
walk-in times are available. Call 704.330.6443 or 704.330.5013
to schedule a P-CAP appointment.
Faculty advisors play a significant role in helping students
maintain satisfactory progress in programs of study. Advising is
an essential part of a student’s persistence and success. Assistance
is provided in program planning, course selection and scheduling.
Online assistance is available through the virtual Office of
Counseling and Advisement Services. Students may access the
ICAN website and talk with a counselor or academic advisor
concerning specific advising issues.
Academic advising at CPCC is an integral part of the
mission of the College – educating students for life. The College
is committed to making our advisement system an effective,
caring, supportive and accessible service for all students. The
counseling and advising process helps students realize the
educational benefits available to them, to help them better

Disability Services
Disability Services provides accommodations for students
with disabilities. Students must self-identify and provide the
appropriate disability documentation to be eligible for services.
Disability Services are available to students with a hearing,
learning, physical, medical, visual, or psychological/psychiatric
disability. Students with temporary disabilities may be eligible
for services.
Disability Documentation
Students with a disability must meet the same admissions
criteria as other students. Students with a disability must submit
appropriate documentation to the appropriate counselor in the
Counseling and Advising Department. Students must use
documentation that is not more than three years old to verify their
disability. Official documentation may include a comprehensive
psychological or neurological report, vocational rehabilitation
documentation or medical records. The type of documentation
required will vary according to the student's disability.
Confidentiality
In accordance with the requirement of the Federal Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Disability Services
protects each student’s right to privacy by limiting access to
disability records. Disability Services does not disclose
information to professors, staff, outside funding sources, or a
student’s parents unless a student has provided a signed and
dated release.
Academic Accommodations
In order to guarantee timely accommodations, students must
meet with counselors serving students with disabilities prior to
the start of the semester. This counselor determines the necessary
academic accommodations based on the student's documentation.
The counselor is the facilitator for assisting faculty and staff in
providing accommodations to students with disabilities.
Interpreting Services
One of the most critical components of any program for deaf
and hard of hearing students is interpreting services. The success
of a student's educational experience is dependent on the quality
and availability of interpreting services. The College employs
qualified, certified and licensed interpreters who are skilled in
using American Sign Language. Interpreters function as a
communication channel between the student, instructor and
classmates. Deaf and hard of hearing students may request
interpreting services for organizations and activities sponsored
by the College. Certain schedule adjustments may be necessary
in order to provide interpreting services for students who request
them. Interpreting service is provided upon referral by
counselors assisting students with disabilities.
Counseling Services
In conjunction with other CPCC counselors, counselors
working with students with disabilities will provide individual,
vocational and academic counseling to eligible students. The
Disability Services counselors are the facilitators for assisting
faculty and staff in providing accommodations to students with
disabilities.
Attendance
Classroom attendance is not determined by the Disability
Services office. Class attendance is at the discretion of each
faculty member and is usually explained in the course syllabi.
No right or privilege exists that permits a student to be absent
from any given number of class meetings. Absences from class
for valid reasons (including disability related medical situations)
are excused only by the instructor.
Full-Time Academic Status
Based on the nature of the disability, a student may not be
able to take a full course load of 12 credit hours in the fall and
spring semesters or 9 credit hours in the summer semester.
The Disability Services counselor may recommend a
reduced course load for specific students with disabilities.
Tutorial Services
The College provides tutorial services as a tool for
enhancing student success. The Disability Services Counselor
will refer the student for these services to the Academic
Learning Center and/or the office of Student Support Services.
It is the student’s responsibility to pursue tutorial services.
Unidentified Disabilities
Students may have academic difficulties or may be unaware
of hidden disabilities. Students who continue to experience
academic problems may see a counselor who assists disabled
students for consultation. Faculty or staff may also refer students
to Counseling and Advising for consultation.
Postsecondary Education Consortium
CPCC is a member of the Southeastern Postsecondary
Education Consortium (PEC), one of four federally funded
Regional Postsecondary Education Programs for the Deaf.
The College and the Disability Services office serves as the
North Carolina State Outreach and Technical Assistance Center

development and technical assistance across the State to post
secondary professionals who work with Deaf and Hard of
Hearing students, including personnel within the North Carolina

Service-Learning Center
Service-learning is an innovative new teaching method
that combines meaningful community service with academic
instruction. Instructors who incorporate an optional service-
learning component into their courses offer grade-based
incentives for students to commit to service projects that are
relevant to course learning objectives. Research shows that
student service-learners learn more about the course content,
are more engaged in the classroom, explore career options and
assume greater civic responsibility in their community.
The CPCC Service-Learning Center serves as a liaison
between instructors, students and the partnering community
agencies that provide service opportunities for students. The Center
is an on-campus resource for information about non-profit
organizations. It is also a resource for faculty development and
training opportunities related to service-learning teaching methods.
In addition to curriculum-based service, the Service-Learning

2. Apply for financial aid and scholarship consideration by
completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Application should be completed each year, even if a
student thinks he/she doesn’t qualify. There are many factors
affecting eligibility for financial aid.
To apply for student financial aid from the federal
government, including the Pell Grant, Supplement Educational
Opportunity Grant and Federal Work-Study, complete and
submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Completion of the FAFSA is also required to
determine eligibility for all State Grants.
In order to provide adequate time for processing and
awarding aid prior to the start of classes, priority dates are
identified for each semester. If a financial aid application is
submitted after the priority dates, the student should be prepared
to pay for tuition, fees and books. (Priority dates are: Fall
semester, June 1; Spring semester, October 15; Summer
semester, March 1.)
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
3. Have an official transcript from the high school where
you graduated and from each previously attended college mailed
to: CPCC Student Records, PO Box 35009, Charlotte, NC
28235-5009. Include placement tests if applicable. Admission to
a degree program requires proof of high school completion
confirmed by an official, unopened high school transcript with a
graduation date. The student’s current name and social security
number should appear on or accompany each transcript.
• Home schooled students must provide evidence of
completion of a state approved home-school program in
addition to a transcript.
• International transcripts must be translated into English and
students must provide certified copies of both the original
transcript and the English translation.
• Students applying for certificate programs are not required
to submit high school transcripts unless required by specific
programs. However, students who decide to continue their
studies and apply for a diploma or degree program must do
so. (Students applying for financial aid/veterans affairs
benefits will need a high school transcript on file in any
case.)
• Students who are unable to produce official high school
transcripts must present acceptable evidence of high school
completion. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis.
• Students who provide an official college transcript with an
associate’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited
institution do not have to submit a high school transcript.
4. If you have completed college course work at another
institution, complete and submit a request for college transcript
evaluation.
• Forms are available in Student Records at any campus and
in this catalog.
•Veteran Affairs students must submit all prior official
military and college transcripts to Student Records and request
an evaluation of credit.
5. Take placement tests as needed for the degree, diploma, or
certificate program you plan to enter. Satisfactory placement test
scores are prerequisites for many courses. In the absence of
appropriate college-level courses in English and math or
acceptable scores on such tests as the COMPASS, ASSET,
CLEP and AP, placement test scores determine the number and
sequence of courses that you must take. Placement test scores,
therefore, will affect the length and cost of your program at
CPCC. There are stringent guidelines for retesting; permission
to retest is not automatic. Even if lower, the most recent
placement test scores apply. Advance preparation is encouraged.

useful tips to help you meet your college goals. For more
information, call 704.330.4207 or 6396, or visit online at

E. High School Completion Students
For students who plan to complete high school (grades 9-
Admissions
12), CPCC offers the Adult High School Program (HSD) and
the Tests of General Educational Development (GED).
1. The Adult High School Diploma (HSD) Program leads
to an earned diploma granted by the Charlotte/ Mecklenburg
Board of Education. For graduation, the board requires four
units of English, three units of mathematics (including algebra
and geometry), one unit of government and economics, one unit
of United States history, one unit of world cultures/history, one
unit of biology, one unit of physical science, one unit of earth
science/ecology, five electives, (including Health, Computer
Literacy) and a passing score on the North Carolina
Competency Test. For more information, call 704.330.6864.
2. The Tests of General Educational Development (GED)
offers another opportunity for students who have not completed 39
high school. A High School Diploma Equivalency is awarded by
the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges after a
student passes five individual tests in writing skills (including a
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
written essay requirement), social studies, science, literature and
arts and mathematics. A pre-test is used to evaluate performance
levels and instructional needs before testing. GED classes are
available at each campus and at several off-campus locations.
The off-campus classes are self-paced and allow students to
progress at their own learning rates. There is no charge for pre-
testing or GED classes; however, there is a $7.50 fee for final
GED testing. For more information, call 704.330.6949.
F. Adult Basic Education Programs
1. Adult Basic Education (ABE) is available for students
whose schooling stopped short of the ninth grade and provides
instruction in basic reading and mathematics. Upon completion
of the ABE program, students may enter the Adult High School
Diploma Program or GED Program. There is no charge for
these classes and they are offered at numerous locations. For
more information, call 704.330.6129.
2. The Adult Basic Literacy Education (ABLE) program
is for students who plan to learn basic skills in reading and
mathematics and is located at community sites. This program
offers a new approach for adults who want to read, write, or
calculate at an adult level, combining the use of microcomputers,
video systems, audio tapes, specialized programming and tutors
to teach adults reading and mathematics skills. Instructors guide
students through program materials and help with the use of
equipment. There is no charge for ABLE instruction. For more
information, call 704.330.6125.
3. English as a Second Language is taught in two different
programs. Students study the customs and traditions of
American culture while learning the language. Academic and/or
vocational courses may be taken when the student’s language
proficiency allows. Consult course descriptions with an EFL
prefix for classes with an academic and professional focus, or
with an LEP prefix for classes with a focus on basic skills and
vocational English.

Sponsored Programs
Sponsored students must submit a letter of authorization to
bill and their registration information to the Sponsored Programs
office or any CPCC Cashier office before they register and no
later than the same day they register for classes. Please visit our

Student Insurance
Insurance coverage is available to students through CPCC,
visit www.cpcc.edu/insurance/student-insurance.
1. Student Accident Insurance Plan
The plan insures students against loss resulting from
accidental bodily injury sustained while at the College or while
participating in or attending an activity exclusively organized,
sponsored and solely supervised by the College and College
employees. For detailed, current, coverage information visit the
website above.
Student Accident Insurance is required for specific classes
and is paid for at the time of registration. If not registered for a
class with required insurance, students who wish to purchase the
accident insurance can do so at any cashier counter. Claim forms
can be found on the website. The policyholder representative is
the Executive Director of Insurance and must sign the form
before claims are submitted.
For more information, visit:
www.cpcc.edu/insurance/student-insurance/medical-
hospitalization-group-plan
2. Medical Hospitalization Group Plan
The plan is available to students enrolled for six or more
credit hours. The group plan offers several benefit options
depending on the needs of the student.
Premiums vary per term or year depending upon the selected
coverage and payment schedule. Spouses and unmarried children
may be covered for an additional fee. Plans are a direct
relationship between the student and the insurance provider.
Qualified students may directly contact the insurance provider
through the website above.
Residence Status
A legal resident of North Carolina is one who has domicile
(as opposed to temporary abode) in the State; however, the
definition of residence status for tuition purposes includes other
elements such as duration of residence. To be considered eligible
for in-state status, one must first be eligible to establish legal
residence and must have established and maintained such
residence for at least 12 consecutive months immediately prior to
the start of the term for which the in-state benefit is sought.
For students enrolling in college curriculum classes, an initial
residence classification is made upon application to the College.
It is the student’s responsibility to supply documenting evidence
of residence status if requested to do so, though no one item or
combination of items can be considered the determining factor(s)
in residence classification. The decision is based on the
preponderance of the evidence presented.
One or more of the following may be applicable to your
situation:
1. The legal residence of minors (under 18 years of age) is
that of the parents, surviving parent or legal guardian.
2. Residence status of foreign nationals is first reviewed in
light of immigration documentation. Some visas do not
confer eligibility to establish legal residence.
• Persons holding Alien Registration Receipt Cards (Form
I-551) and others holding certain work visas may be
eligible to apply for in-state status.
• Documenting evidence that legal residence has been
established and maintained for 12 months prior to the start
of the term is required as well.
3. Ownership of property in or payment of taxes to the State
of North Carolina will not, in itself, qualify a person for
in-state tuition status.
4. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the College
if North Carolina residence is lost or abandoned while
enrolled.
Students who think that they have been classified incorrectly
or those initially classified as out-of-state who think they now
meet the requirements for in-state status should contact
Registration Services at any Central Piedmont campus to initiate
a review of status.
Information provided here is not intended to be
comprehensive; however, the State Policy Manual is available for
review at all CPCC Campus Registration Centers. Residence
policy is based on North Carolina General Statute 116-143.1.

How to Apply
Students can apply for federal aid by completing the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at:
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
The financial aid award year runs from July 1 to June 30.
Students are required to complete an application for financial aid
each year. FAFSA On The Web Worksheets for the upcoming
school year are available in the Financial Aid Office after Jan. 1st.
If web access is unavailable, one can use the computers in
Central Piedmont Community College’s libraries to complete
and transmit your application. An electronic pin number,
received from the U.S. Department of Education, should be used
to electronically sign the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid. Parents of dependent students will also need a PIN number.
Please include Central Piedmont Community College’s Title
IV Code #002915 and address on FAFSA On The Web. The
number to call concerning application status, requesting a
duplicate student aid report, or adding another college is
1.800.4FED.AID.
To receive priority for all types of aid, students should
complete the application process by March 15 if planning to
begin in the Fall Semester.
A Student Aid Report (SAR) will be mailed within four to
six weeks from the time the FAFSA is submitted. Applicants
should review the SAR carefully and make all corrections. If no
corrections are necessary, the SAR should be retained and
financial aid will be awarded based on this information. The
Financial Aid Office will receive the student’s record
electronically from the federal processor.
Verification: The Financial Aid Office is required by the
U.S. Department of Education to verify files for applicants
selected for verification by the Federal Processor. (Central
Piedmont Community College’s Financial Aid Office will
verify at least 30 percent of the student files selected by the
U. S. Department of Education). When corrections are made to
the student aid report, the application could then be selected for
verification by the Federal Processor, even though it was not
previously chosen. In addition, the Financial Aid Office reserves
the right to request verification of additional files with
questionable or conflicting information. The verification process
requires a signed copy of the student’s, spouse’s and or parent’s
(whichever is applicable) federal tax returns, a signed
VerificationWorksheet (obtained on the Financial Aid website)
and any other documentation requested before awards can be
finalized. Document tracking emails are sent requesting all
necessary verification documents be submitted to the Financial
Aid Office within two weeks.
Special Circumstances: If the student and/or family have
unusual or extenuating circumstances that are not reflected on
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), he or
she should contact the Financial Aid Office. Documentation is
required.
PIN Information
The PIN serves as your electronic signature and provides
access to your personal information in various U.S. Department
of Education systems. It’s like the Personal Identification
Number (PIN) that you get from your bank that enables you to
access your account. Anyone - including parents of dependent
students - who has a valid Social Security Number and is a U.S.
Citizen or eligible non-citizen may apply for a PIN. Because you
can use your PIN to sign your financial aid application, you
should keep it in a safe place. Do not give or entrust it to anyone,
even if the person or organization is helping you fill out your
FAFSA.
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Each year that you apply for financial aid you will use your
PIN to access and electronically sign your FAFSA, saving time
and effort in the process. You and your parents do not need to
apply for a new PIN from one year to the next. The PIN stays
with you.
If you, or your parents, do not have a PIN, we strongly
recommend you apply for one now. You can apply at the U.S.
Department of Education’s PIN site, www.pin.ed.gov, by
selecting Apply for a PIN. Or both Students and Parents of
Dependent students who have not previously applied for a PIN
are able to apply for a PIN within the FAFSA application. Once
you successfully complete a request, the Department of
Education will e-mail or mail you a PIN, depending on whether
you and your parents provided them with an e-mail address. It
will take approximately 1-3 business days after you request your
PIN for you to receive an e-mail notification with instructions on
how to retrieve it electronically, or 7-10 days to receive it in the
mail via the U.S. Postal Service.
Visit the U.S. Department of Education’s PIN site. Some of
the online options available are:
• Apply for a PIN for the first time
• Check the status of a PIN application
• Request a duplicate PIN if it has been lost or forgotten
• Request your PIN be changed if it has been compromised
• Update your PIN e-mail and mailing address
• Enable/Disable your PIN
Important Note - A PIN that is selected or viewed instantly
online or is sent to you in an e-mail is considered to be conditional
until your information is verified with the Social Security
Administration (1-3 days from the date you first apply). Before
verification is received from the Social Security Administration,
you may sign your FAFSA with it, but nothing else. Once the
federal processor completes this verification, you will be able to
use your PIN for other purposes (such as correcting your SAR or
accessing other Federal Student Aid websites).
Transfer Students
Students transferring to Central Piedmont Community
College must request a duplicate Student Aid Report: call
1.800.4.FED.AID; include CPCC’s Title IV school code 002915.
You can also add CPCC’s school code at: www.fafsa.ed.gov/
Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA. It is the student’s
responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office if he/she has
attended another college during the same financial aid award year.
A student cannot receive financial aid at two colleges
during the same semester.
Study Abroad
Students who currently receive financial aid and participate in
a CPCC Study Abroad option may be eligible to receive financial
assistance for their academic credits.
Students who plan to study abroad should apply for financial
aid in the same manner as students who will be on campus.
Financial aid is not available for travel and lodging expenses nor
for additional course fees abroad etc. Partial scholarships for
these expenses may be available through the Study Abroad Office.
CPCC offers summer Study Abroad as part of its Foreign
Language Program. Full academic foreign language credits are
awarded. Additional credits may be earned via an approved
Independent Study Program in another field. Immersion language
courses are the main thrust of our study abroad program. Study
Abroad offers French in France, German in Germany and
Spanish in Mexico or Costa Rica (varies). Please find details on
the following website: www.cpcc.edu/study-abroad.
Financial Aid Programs
Federal Pell Grants
The Federal Pell Grant, which does not have to be repaid,
is a federal program designed to provide financial assistance to
undergraduate students who demonstrate a financial need to
attend college. The U.S. Department of Education uses a
standard formula, established by Congress, to evaluate the
information reported on the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). The formula produces an Expected Family
Contribution (EFC) number. The Student Aid Report contains the
EFC number which determines eligibility.
The Federal Pell Grant award amount depends on the
student’s EFC, the student’s cost of attendance, whether the
student is full-time or part-time and whether the student attends
school for a full academic year or less. Students must be enrolled
in an eligible program consisting of at least 16 credit hours in
length. Students with bachelor’s degrees are not eligible.
Summer Pell
Through the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Pell
Grant can now be awarded year round. Therefore, a student may
now request to receive Pell for the summer semester without
affecting the fall and spring award.
To be eligible for Summer aid, you must meet all Satisfactory
Academic Progress requirements.
Pell Grant recipients may receive funds for Summer under the
following conditions:
• Students who are awarded less than full-time Pell Grant funds
during the Fall and Spring semesters, and do not complete at
least 24 hours during the award year, may receive Summer
Pell Grant funds from the current award year.
• Students who are awarded full-time Pell Grant funds for Fall
and Spring semesters, and complete at least 24 hours during
those semesters, may receive Summer Pell Grant funds from
the current or upcoming award year. Student must be
enrolled for six or more credit hours.
• Students who are awarded less than full-time Pell Grant funds
for the Fall and Spring semesters, but complete at least 25
hours during the award year (with at least one hour during t
he cross over Summer semester), may receive Summer Pell
Grant funds from the current or upcoming award year. Student
must be enrolled for six or more credit hours.
In order to receive Pell for three semesters, the student should
submit a Summer Application Form to the Financial Aid Office
and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid for
both the current and the new year. The Summer Application
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
Form can be submitted beginning March 23.
If you have any questions, please contact the Financial Aid
Office at 704.330.6942.
Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant
A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG), which does not have to be repaid, is for
undergraduates with exceptional financial need – that is, students
with the lowest Expected Family Contributions (EFC’s) – and
gives priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
program is a campus-based program administered directly by
the Financial Aid Office. The amount of aid awarded depends
on the student’s financial need, on the amount of other aid the 53
student receives and on the availability of funds. Students with
bachelor’s degrees are not eligible.
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study program utilizes federal funds to
provide part-time employment for undergraduate and graduate
students with financial need to help meet their educational
expenses. Students with bachelor’s degrees are eligible.
Students who are enrolled at least half-time may work an
average of 15 to 20 hours per week. FWS employment is
determined by the student’s total financial need, the student’s
class schedule, the student’s credit hours of enrollment and the
student’s academic progress per term.
Awarded FWS funds are limited to availability of positions,
funds and completion of the entrance/interview process. There
are no term limitations on earnings, provided annual limits on
the student’s award letter are not exceeded.
All available FWS positions will be advertised on the CPCC
Human Resources website at:
www.cpcc.edu/humanresources/employment.
Students are paid each month and the amount paid is
according to the position and the number of hours worked.
America Reads/America Counts
America Reads/America Counts is a Federal Work-Study
program offered in the fall and spring semesters. This program
allows CPCC students to partner with local elementary and
middle schools in an effort to increase children’s literacy and
math skills.
America Reads tutors work at the K-3rd grade level and
America Counts tutors work at the K-8th grade level. The
students gain work experience as reading and math tutors
involved in service activities that play key roles in working with
individual children and supporting classroom activities.
The America Reads Challenge Federal Work-Study program
is a strong example of how students both give to and receive
from the community. The program promotes access to college by
helping students finance postsecondary education costs while
offering these students the opportunity to pursue a community
service. – Richard W. Riley
Scholarships
Scholarships are provided through the Central Piedmont
Community College’s Foundation and the generosity of
industries, businesses, professional organizations, civic clubs
and individuals. A scholarship review committee determines the
recipient for those scholarships awarded by the College.
The scholarship program consists of two types of awards:
merit-based scholarships and need-based scholarships.
Scholarships are also awarded on a competitive basis applying the
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
following criteria: academic excellence, achievement, leadership
qualities, need or other criteria as stipulated by the donor.
Awards are usually restricted to tuition assistance and require
the recipient to maintain a minimum grade point average to
continue the scholarship. Each scholarship is awarded for one
academic year beginning with the fall semester. Students must
reapply each year by completing the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. In addition, a
scholarship application needs to be completed each year.
Applications will be accepted until all funds are awarded.
Students are encouraged to apply early. Contact the Financial
Aid Office or visit CPCC’s financial aid website at:
www.cpcc.edu/financial_aid/ for applications, deadline dates
and a detailed listing of scholarships.

Donors of scholarships should direct contributions to the
CPCC Foundation, Incorporated, which supports and
supplements educational programs, projects and scholarships at
CPCC for which funds from other sources are unavailable or
inadequate. Questions regarding the establishment of
scholarships and requests for other scholarship donor-related
information should be directed to the CPCC Foundation at

Awards
Students should have their financial aid package completed
before registration or come prepared to meet their expenses and
pay tuition/fees within the designated due dates. If not paid
within the designated due dates, your registration will
automatically be canceled.
The Financial Aid Office reserves the right to adjust a
financial aid package when an over-award is made. Students are
required to notify the Financial Aid Office if any additional gift
aid assistance is received for educational expenses. Furthermore,
the Financial Aid Office will void any award if it is determined
that the student provided incorrect or false information on the
financial aid application. All financial aid awards are subject to
change if the information on which they were based changes,
federal regulations require a change, or an over-award occurs.
Central Piedmont Community College’s Financial Aid
Office adjusts student awards throughout the drop/add period.
After the drop/add period, no awards are adjusted unless a
“never attended” or a “complete withdrawal” is received from
the instructor.
The award letter is based on full-time enrollment for an
entire year. Full-time status consists of enrollment in a minimum
of 12 credit hours. Three-quarter time status consists of
enrollment in 9 to 11 credit hours. Half-time status consists of
enrollment in 6 to 8 credit hours. Less than half-time status
consists of enrollment in 1 to 5 credit hours. Any changes in
enrollment status must be reported to the Financial Aid Office.
Financial aid awards cannot be automatically transferred from
one college to another. Students must have the results of the
FAFSA released to the new college. All documents in the
student’s financial aid file are the property of Central Piedmont
Community College and cannot be released. In addition, financial
aid cannot be utilized simultaneously at two or more colleges.
If any financial aid is remaining after charges are paid, the
remaining funds will be transferred to the student’s Higher One
Debit Card (usually within the first four weeks of class). If
requested, a check can be mailed to your current address. It is
important to keep your address, telephone number and email
address updated. Changes in your personal information can be
made at http://mycollege.cpcc.edu or in person at Student Records.
Any unclaimed funds, will be voided after ninety days.
Funds can only be reissued BEFORE August 1st for the prior
fiscal year award (July 1st to June 30th).
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
Programs/Courses Ineligible for Financial Aid
Diploma or certificate programs containing less than sixteen
(16) semester hours are not eligible for Federal student aid.
Although the Financial Aid Office will make every effort to
monitor these programs, it is the responsibility of the student to
assure acceptance into a program of at least sixteen (16)
semester hours in order to be eligible for federal aid. In addition,
Career Development, Continuing Education, course for which
credit by examination has been received and/or courses being
audited by the student are ineligible for financial aid. For a list of
ineligible programs a student can contact their academic
counselor or the Financial Aid Office.

 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Clock Hour/Credit Hour Conversions
The determination of enrollment status (full, 3/4, 1/2, or less)
is, by Federal regulations, different for the following four
programs of study:
• Dental Assisting (D50300)
• Machine Technology (D50300)
• Autobody Repair (D60100)
• Electrical/Electronics Technology (D35220)
This determination of enrollment status is different because
the programs have one or more courses that cannot be used
toward a two-year degree program. Enrollment status
determination for the above programs is determined by totaling
for each course the clock/contact hours a student takes each
semester. The total hours are then divided by 30 to obtain the
converted credits. The converted credits are then used to
determine the enrollment status. For a list of converted courses,
check with the Financial Aid Office.
Less Than Half-time Attendance
Federal regulations require a less than half-time budget
calculation that is restricted to tuition, books and transportation
for students who are enrolled less than half-time. If a less-than-
half-time enrollment status is a result of dropped or never
attended classes, Federal Pell will be reduced and an over-award
could occur. It is the responsibility of the student to satisfy any
balance before receiving additional federal aid.
Return to Title IV Funds Policy
For Financial Aid Recipients
Federal regulations require recalculation of federal financial
aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, or are
dismissed prior to completing sixty percent of an academic
term. An example of the Return to Title IV Fund calculation is
available in the Financial Aid/VA Office.
Recalculation is based on the percent of aid using the
following formula: Percent earned = Number of Days
Completed Up to the Withdrawal Date - Divided By - The Total
of Days In a Semester/Term. If the calculation results in an
overpayment, the student will owe the balance to the College.
The student should come by the Financial Aid/VA Office to
make payment arrangements on this balance. If the student fails
to pay the debt to the College within 45 days of notification, the
debt will be reported to the U.S. Department of Education as an
overpayment. Federal eligibility is lost until the debt is paid or
satisfactory arrangements are made with the U.S. Department of
Education. Financial aid students must notify the Financial Aid
Office before withdrawing.
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
Students formally withdrawing from all their classes within
the semester must do so through Registration Services using one
of the following methods:
• in person at all campuses
• online at www.cpcc.edu
• by telephone (CHRIS) at 704.330.6970. Please have your
CPCC PIN# readily available to complete the process.
Please notify the Financial Aid/VA Office if you withdraw
from any courses.
According to federal regulations, students who stop attending
their classes within a given term without formally withdrawing
will have the Return to Title IV calculation calculated using the
50 percent point of the semester.
56 Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Purpose
Federal regulations require institutions of higher education to
establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress
for students receiving financial aid. Students are expected to
achieve certain minimum levels of progress toward the success-
ful academic completion of course requirements for a degree,
certificate or diploma. Progress is measured both qualitatively
and quantitatively. To ensure that a student is making sufficient
progress throughout their course of study, a maximum time
frame divided into increments is also required.
This policy applies to those students applying for or receiving
federal and state funds. To reasonably measure a student's
satisfactory academic progress toward completion of his/her
degree, certificate or diploma, the student's total academic record
will be evaluated regardless of whether or not they had received
financial aid in the past. As a recipient of federal or state
financial aid, students have certain rights and responsibilities.
Failure to fulfill any part of the agreement, as described, may
result in the cancellation of a student’s award and the student
may be responsible for repaying any received funds.
Procedure Statement
To be eligible for financial aid, students must meet the
following minimum guidelines:
Qualitative Standard - Must not be suspended according to
the College’s academic suspension procedure. Maintain a
cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.0 each semester as
computed by the Financial Aid Office - this may be different
than your transcript GPA.
Quantitative Standard - Complete a minimum of 67 percent
of cumulative credit hours attempted each semester (e.g. if the
student has attempted 50 credit hours, the student must earn
credit for at least 33 hours). The number of hours attempted is
defined as the total cumulative number of credit hours for which
the student enrolled at the general 10 percent point of each term.
The total number of credit hours earned is defined as the total
cumulative number of credit hours from each term at CPCC for
which the student received a passing grade as noted on the
student’s academic transcript.
Maximum Time Frame - Complete the program of study in
a time-frame not to exceed 150 percent of the published length
of the program for full-time students. This will be measured in
credit hours (e.g. if the academic program length requires 60
credit hours, maximum time frame cannot exceed 90 hours
attempted). Transfer credit hours accepted from other institutions
and evaluated in the student’s current program are included in
the calculation of the maximum time frame.
Monitoring Procedures
The Financial Aid office will monitor satisfactory academic
progress for all students receiving or applying for federal or state
financial aid to ensure that they are making progress toward
program completion. All programs will be reviewed for
satisfactory academic progress at the end of each semester.
Cumulative Credit Hours Attempted - Cumulative credit
hours attempted are defined as all credit hours attempted at
CPCC and all credit hours transferred from other institutions.
Attempted credits include courses with grades of “A” through
“F”, “W”, “I/A”, “I/B”, “I/C”, “I/D”, “I/F”, “I”, “WN”, “W”.
Repeated courses will be counted as hours attempted and
also toward maximum credits allowable for each type of
program for financial aid.
Cumulative Credit Hours Completed - Credit hours
successfully completed are defined as grades, including “A”
through “D”, “I/A”, “I/B”, “I/C”, “I/D”. Credit hours not
successfully completed are defined as “I/F”, “F”, “I.”
Audit Grades - Credit hours taken for a grade of "audit"
(AU) do not apply toward an associate degree, diploma, or
certificate program. Therefore, credit hours with this designation
are not included in determining enrollment status for financial
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
aid disbursements or Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students
with changes in grade type of an "audit" (AU) after the
disbursement of financial aid will be reviewed for an enrollment
status change. This change may result in a reduction of financial
aid eligibility and a balance owed to the College.
Incomplete Grades - Courses with grades of "I"
(Incomplete) will be considered as credit hours attempted and
not completed. Students who have made arrangements with the
instructor to complete required course work are not required to
re-register for the same class during a subsequent semester to
complete the work. Any course carried forward to the next
semester for completion will not be counted as part of the new
semester enrollment status. If the "incomplete" grade resulted in
a student being placed on financial aid probation or suspension,
once completed, the student may appeal for a re-evaluation of
Satisfactory Academic Progress by submitting the Satisfactory
Academic Progress Appeal form to the Financial Aid office at
CPCC. Should the grade become final before the review, the
actual grade, credits attempted and credits earned will be used to
determine if the student is making SAP.
Cumulative Grade Point Average - A student’s cumulative
grade point average must meet the minimum standards of the
institution according to their degree intentions. The minimum
cumulative grade point average for graduation at CPCC is 2.0.
Course Withdrawals - Students who withdraw from
courses at CPCC should understand that changes in enrollment
will affect their eligibility for financial aid. Students who receive
federal or state financial aid must be aware that repeated courses
and grades of “W” will be considered in assessing progress
toward completion. A “Withdrawal” will count as attempted, not
completed and will not count in the GPA calculation.
Reducing enrollment during any semester can create
serious consequences for financial aid recipients:
• Satisfactory Academic Progress may be affected;
• In cases of complete withdrawals, students may be required
to repay a percentage of financial aid received for that
semester. See Return of Title IV Funds.
• If a student purchases books using federal or state funds
and never attends or earns a SAP status of “Unsatisfactory,”
the student will be responsible for all charges.
Developmental Studies Standards of Progress
Financial aid recipients may take a maximum of 30 credit
hours in developmental course work. Developmental courses
(designated by course numbers below 100, ex., MAT050) are
included in the calculation of satisfactory academic progress.
Students enrolled in developmental courses must receive grades
of A, B or C to remain in good standing.
English as a Second Language - If a student enrolls in ESL
coursework while enrolled in an eligible program of study,
he/she may also receive FSA program funds. In this case, ESL
courses are treated as remedial (developmental) coursework and
will not count towards the student’s 150 percent time frame.
Developmental hours in excess of 30 total semester credit
hours cannot be counted towards enrollment status for federal
and state grants or for the cost of attendance for any campus-
based programs or loan programs.
Transfer Students - All transfer students will be considered
to be making satisfactory progress based on the number of credit
hours accepted toward their current program of study.
Change of Major(s) - Students who change their major are
still responsible for maintaining satisfactory academic progress in
accordance with the procedure as outlined. A review of
satisfactory academic progress will be based on the student's
current program of study. A student changing from an associate
program into a diploma or certificate program of study may lose
federal and state eligibility immediately upon making the change.
Summer Session - Credit hours attempted and earned
during a summer session are included in the calculation of
Satisfactory Academic Progress.
IT IS ALWAYS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
STUDENT TO CONTACT THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL
AID BEFORE CHANGING PROGRAM AND/OR
WITHDRAWING FROM ANY COURSES.
Review Process
It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of his/her
Satisfactory Academic Progress status for financial aid eligibility.
To determine a student’s academic progress status and
eligibility for financial aid, a student’s academic record will be
evaluated at the end of each term.
Probation - If a student does not make a 2.0 cumulative
grade point average (GPA) and/or pass at least 67 percent of the
attempted credit hours for his/her cumulative enrollment status,
the student is placed on Probation for the next term attended.
Financial aid may be received during this probationary term.
Continued Probation - At the end of the probationary term,
students whose term completion rate and GPA meet SAP
standards are eligible for financial aid under Continued
Probation for the next enrolled semester. Students are expected
to use this term to work on re-establishing satisfactory academic
progress. Students on “Continued Probation” may purchase
books after all grades for the previous term are posted if eligible.
If a student does not reestablish progress, the student will be
placed on Suspension.
Suspension - Students who are on Continued Probation and
do not meet the SAP standards for an enrolled term will be
placed on Suspension and the student will not be eligible for
federal and/or state financial aid.
A student who does not meet the satisfactory academic
standards for aid eligibility may attend the next term(s) without
financial aid in order to make up the deficiencies (2.0 grade
point average and/or 67 percent cumulative completion rate.)
When a student takes action that brings the student in compliance
with the qualitative and quantitative components of the Financial
Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress, including the maximum
time frame, the student will be placed on Satisfactory Progress.
Appeal of Financial Aid Ineligibility
A student may appeal the termination of financial aid by
completing an appeal form obtained from the Financial Aid/VA
Office and indicating in writing: a) reasons why he/she did not
achieve minimum standards for each semester b) reasons why
his or her eligibility should not be terminated, but reinstated.
Appeals must be submitted in writing with supporting
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
documentation explaining any unusual circumstances that
caused the student’s academic progress to be less than required.
Each appeal will be considered on its merit. Federal law gives
some examples where allowances might be made for mitigating
circumstances. Reasons may include, for example: personal
illness, serious illness or death or an immediate family member,
employment changes, divorce, or separation in the student’s
immediate family.
Other than when an appeal is granted for unusual or mitigating
circumstances, a student can reestablish eligibility only by taking
action that brings the student in compliance with the qualitative
and quantitative components of the Financial Aid Satisfactory
Academic Standards including maximum time frame. Students
who successfully appeal the 150 percent rule are required to
57
complete successfully 100 percent of everything attempted from
that point forward to complete their program of study. No
withdrawals, incompletes or grades lower than a C are acceptable.
Only one appeal form per academic year will be considered.
(continued on next page)
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
The Financial Aid Appeals Committee determines if
justifiable evidence or extenuating circumstances exist and
whether the student may receive financial aid for a specified
probationary semester. Satisfactory progress must be
demonstrated by the end of the specified probationary semester
before further aid can be awarded.
A student suspended for exceeding maximum time frame for
degree completion should have an academic advisor submit in
writing the remaining hours required for degree completion if
extenuating circumstances require the student to exceed the
maximum hours limit.
Any student who is reinstated with a “stipulation” is required
to meet all reinstatement stipulations in order to have continued
eligibility for federal and state financial aid.
To initiate a financial aid appeal, the student must complete
the Financial Aid Appeals packet and an appeals statement and
submit it along with required supporting documentation. The
information will need to be submitted to the Financial Aid
Office at least ten business days prior to the appeal committee
meeting. Appeals after this date will be processed at the next
month’s scheduled Financial Aid Appeals meeting. The
Financial Aid Appeals Committee, comprised of staff, faculty
and student members, will not review incomplete appeals. The
Financial Aid Appeals Committee normally meets the second
Wednesday of each month. A student may make a personal
appearance at the meeting by making an appointment in the
Financial Aid Office. The student will be informed of the
committee’s decision within eight business days after the
committee meets. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee and/or
the Director of Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs decision will be
final. All appeals along with supporting documentation must be
submitted to the Financial Aid Office, Central Piedmont
Community College, P.O. Box 35009, Charlotte, NC 28235.
Note - Students who participate in the Federal Work-Study
program and are suspended from financial aid, cannot continue
working until satisfactory academic progress is reestablished. In
addition, students on approved financial aid appeal are not
eligible for Federal Work-Study for the term of the approval.
During this period the student must reestablish progress.
FERPA Guidelines for Inquiries
The Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs Office will communicate
to students using their CPCC email account. Due to the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we are only able
to answer general questions via email unless the student uses
their CPCC email address and includes their student ID number.
Due to confidentiality requirements described in FERPA
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
regulations, we cannot disclose information to parents. Students
may access their “MYCOLLEGE’ account to obtain information
regarding their grades, financial aid awards and student account.
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
Fraud and Forgery
The falsification and misrepresentation of information
submitted for the purpose of receiving financial assistance or
Veterans Affairs educational benefits will result in the
cancellation of future assistance and repayment of all prior
assistance received under false pretense. Signing someone else’s
name and falsification of income information are examples of
fraud and forgery. If a student purposely provides false or
58 misleading information to receive federal financial aid/VA
educational benefits, he/she will be in violation of the College’s
rules of conduct and may face prosecution under state and
federal laws.
Veterans Affairs

Rehabilitation Office, 251 North Main Street, Winston-Salem,
NC 27155. Telephone: 336.714.0817.
Enrollment Certification Process (22-1999)
Your CPCC VA file must be complete before you can be
certified for VA Educational Benefits. Once your file is complete
and you have registered and paid for classes, you can make an
appointment to be certified by calling 704.330.6267. A VA
Request for Certification Form must be completed listing the
courses that you are requesting for Certification of your benefits.
Please access your “MyCollege” online service and run a
Program Evaluation to confirm all courses are required for your
Program of Study when you register as only required courses
Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs
can be certified.
Verification of Enrollment (Chapters 30, 1606 and 1607)
After the Veterans Affairs Office has certified your semester
hours to the VA Regional Processing Office, you will need to
verify that your hours have not changed. You will do this the first
of each month by calling 1(877) 823-2378 (if there are no
changes) or by using WAVE (Web Automated Verification of
Enrollment) through www.gibill.va.gov. Students are responsible
for notifying the VA Office immediately when changes are made
to their enrollment and a VA Schedule Adjustment Form must be
submitted. The VA Office is responsible for transmitting all
Changes of Enrollments immediately to the VA Regional
Processing Office to prevent liabilities.
60 Notification from the Department of Veterans Affairs
All VA Certifying Officials use a program called VAOnce to
transmit Enrollment Certifications, reductions/increases or
terminations to the VA Regional Processing Office. The
Department of VA will transmit an electronic message directly to
your email account if you provide a valid email address to our
office when any type of activity is transmitted by a VA
Certifying Official to the VA Regional Processing office. It is
important to always notify the Department of Veterans Affairs,
CPCC’s VA Office and the Student Records Department of
changes in your address, phone number or email address to
prevent delays in communication.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Educational benefits to veterans and eligible persons will be
discontinued once the student ceases to make satisfactory
progress toward completion of his/her training. Veterans and
eligible persons follow the same academic progress that applies to
all students attending the College. These standards are described
in the College Policies and Procedures section of this catalog.
Veterans and other eligible person are required to seek
academic assistance by contacting their instructor, counselor,
advisor, or the CPCC’s Office of Veterans Affairs before
academic difficulties place them on “Probation” or “Suspension”.
If a veteran affairs student is requesting benefits and is
currently on ‘Probation’ or ‘Suspension’, a letter of notification of
unsatisfactory progress is sent and it is the student’s responsibility
to comply with the requirements stated. If the student is on
Suspension, their eligibility is terminated until they meet the
Standards of Academic Progress required to place them back into
an eligible status to receive their VA educational benefits.
Failures
If a veteran affairs student completes a course with a grade
of “F”, they may still receive VA benefits if they completed the
course. An exception would be if they did not complete the final
exam and did not attend class according to the college policy. If a
student fails to attend class and/or take the final exam, the VA
Regional Office is notified and the student is classified as having
received an overpayment of funds. Any overpayments are the
student’s responsibility. VA students may receive benefits to
retake a required course if they previously received a failing grade.
Changes of Enrollment Status, Program of Study or
Graduation, Address/Phone Information
Veteran Affairs students are responsible for and required
to notify CPCC’s Veterans Affairs Office immediately of
any withdrawals, attendance issues, change of address, phone
number or email address, pending or approved program changes,
course substitutions and/or waivers and graduation. Veteran
Affairs students are responsible to the US Department of
Veterans Affairs for repaying overpayments.
Change of Enrollment Status -
Withdrawals/NonAttendance
It is the student’s responsibility to report all withdrawals
or attendance issues to CPCC’s Office of Veterans Affairs
immediately to prevent overpayments. Students are required to
complete a VA Schedule Adjustment form and submit mitigating
circumstances in writing for evaluation and approval within five
business days. The last date of attendance must be verified by the
instructor for all withdrawals. Students are allowed a one-time
exclusion from being penalized for withdrawing for up to six
credit hours by the VA Regional Processing Office. Students can
be paid up to the last Instructor confirmed date of attendance for
those six hours. This exclusion has to be approved and processed
by the Department of Veterans Affairs. After that time, students
have to provide the VA Office with mitigating circumstances or
repay any benefits received. If the student attended classes
throughout the semester and receives a “W” as a grade, this has
to be reported to the VA Regional Office and is not part of the 6-
hour one time exclusion even if he/she can document that they
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
attended through the last day of class. Students are responsible
for overpayments resulting from non-punitive grades. Failure to
notify CPCC’s VA Office of withdrawals and continued
acceptance of educational funds may be considered fraud.
Students are encouraged to register only for those classes they
know they can complete.
Change of Program or Graduation
Changes in Program of Study must be submitted to the VA
Regional Office by the Veterans Affairs certifying official. This
is necessary because reevaluation of all prior credits earned must
be completed to ensure their full utilization. Students can only
be certified for courses fully accepted for their Program of Study
as reflected in the college catalog. All program changes must be
initiated through Academic Counseling Services and the VA
Certifying official should be notified. The student must
complete a “Request for Change of Program”, VA Form 1995
(Veterans) or VA Form 5495 (Dependent/Spouse). This form is
accepted only after the Program Code has been officially
updated by an Academic Counselor.
Students applying for Graduation must inform CPCC’s VA
Office once they have verified that they are in their last semester
at the college. During the student’s last semester, they can be
certified for all credit hours if they are taking all courses needed
to satisfy graduation requirements and need additional hours to
be at full-time status. This benefit can only be used once at
CPCC. The VA Office can’t certify previously passed courses
under any circumstances.
Dual Degree
Central Piedmont Community College is approved for
Veterans Affairs students to pursue dual degrees simultaneously.
Students desiring a second degree must meet with the Veterans
Affairs Certifying Official and Academic Counseling to
complete a Dual Degree Approval Form and follow the
guidelines listed in the college catalog. Students must meet
certain criteria to be certified for Veterans’ Affairs benefits while
seeking two degrees. Diplomas and Certificates do not qualify
for the Dual Degree Program.
Address/Phone Number Changes
To report a change of address/phone number, Veterans
Affairs students must update their address/phone number
through the Student Records Department or at
http://mycollege.cpcc.edu, submit their updated information in
writing to CPCC’s VA Office and contact the VA Regional
Office at 1.888.442.4551.
The Following Cannot Be Certified For VA Benefits:
• courses that aren’t required for completion of the student’s
degree, diploma, or certificate program;
• courses previously completed successfully;
• courses for which transfer credit has been granted;
• courses taken while not admitted to a diploma, certificate,

Auditing Courses
Students who wish to audit a course must complete an Audit
Agreement form, have it signed by the course instructor and
submit the Audit Agreement to Registration Services at any
CPCC campus within the date ranges below:
• During the first 4 weeks of a 16-week term (28 calendar
days including the first day of the term)
• During the first 2 weeks of an 8-week term (14 calendar
days including the first day of the term)
• During the first week of a 4-week term (7 calendar days
including the first day of the term)
Registration procedures and fees for an audited class are the
same as those for regular and non credit enrollment. Certain
courses, however, may be designated as inappropriate for audit.
Non credit courses may not be audited without permission from
the Dean of Corporate and Continuing Education. No student
will be allowed to change from an audit to a credit designation
or from a credit to an audit designation after the audit deadline.
The hours of an audited course will be counted as part of a
student’s load and will be subject to overload restrictions. A
student may audit a course only once and all those doing so must
adhere to the instructor’s classroom policies. A record of the audit
will be entered on the student’s transcript as AU. The AU carries
no college credit and will not be converted to a letter grade.
Audited courses are not covered by financial aid or veterans
affairs.
Changing Grades
The instructor of record is the individual authorized and
responsible for personally changing grades for his/her students.
In an instructor’s absence, the division director may change a
grade for that instructor after consulting with him/her. In
circumstances when the instructor cannot be located for an
extended period of time and valid reasons exist for changing the
grade, the division director is authorized to make the appropriate
change. The procedures below are to be followed when a grade
change is appropriate:
1. The instructor (or division director) will go personally to
the Student Records Office to change the grade. She/he
will present identification (CPCC ID or driver’s license) to
the Records Clerk.
2. The instructor (or division director) will personally
complete and sign a grade change request form at the
Student Records office.
3. The Associate Dean of Admissions, Registration Services
and Student Systems, Senior College Registrar or a
designee will also sign the change request and personally
change the grade on the student’s electronic record. The
change request form will be filed in Student Records.
4. Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs students should notify
the Financial Aid/VA Office of any grade changes.
Course Load Regulation
Students registered for at least 12 hours of credit during the
fall and spring terms and for at least 9 hours of credit during the
summer term are considered full-time students. Students are
advised that overload status may be required as a result of the
following conditions and require permission:
1. Registrations that exceed 18 course hours during the fall
and spring terms and over 13 hours during the summer;
2. Overlapping course hours exceeding 18 hours during fall
and spring terms and overlapping course hours exceeding
13 hours during the summer term.
Overlapping courses are defined as those which have start
and end dates within the standard term (16-week or 10-week).
During the fall and spring terms, any overlapping courses
totaling more than 18 hours are overload and require permission.
Overlapping courses over 13 hours during summer term are
overload and require permission. Students must identify the
overload course(s) and then secure approval from the faculty
advisor, or the appropriate program or discipline chair, division
director, campus evening director, or instructional dean.
Students taking a full load of EFL (Academic ESL), which
includes skill-based courses in composition, grammar,
listening/speaking and reading for a total of 20 credit hours, are
not required to obtain overload permission in order to take these
four courses.
All students seeking overload approval for 19-20 hours
overlapping course hours during fall and spring terms and for
14-15 overlapping course hours during the summer term must
secure approval from the faculty advisor, program or discipline
chair, division director, campus evening director, or appropriate
instructional dean.
All students seeking overload approval for 21 or more
overlapping course hours during fall and spring terms and for 16
or more overlapping course hours during summer term must
secure approval from the appropriate instructional dean.
Course Substitution
Course substitutions are permitted with the final approval
of the Division Director of the academic area in which the
substitution is sought. For students in A.A.S. programs,
substitution requests should originate with the Program Chair of
the students’ active program of study. For students in College
Transfer programs (A.A., A.S. and A.F.A.), requests should
originate with the Discipline Chair of the related academic area.
Substitutions are approved and applied toward specific
degrees, diplomas, or certificates; therefore, it is necessary for a
student to be officially enrolled in the appropriate program of
study and catalog year before a substitution can be given.
Students with questions about this process may consult with
their Faculty Advisor or contact Counseling and Advising
Services at 704.330.5013.
VA students are only approved by the North Carolina State
Approving Agency for two course substitutions per program.
Course Waiver
College Policies and Procedures
Course waivers for graduation are permitted upon the
recommendation of the division director of the student's A.A.S.
program or the dean who has responsibility for the specific
course in the A.A., A.S., A.G.E. and A.F.A. degrees. No credit
hours will be granted. General Education requirements may not
be waived for any reason.
Course Credit Guidelines for
Military Service
CPCC will approve academic credit for military basic
training equivalent to specific physical education activity
courses. Other military training that is deemed to be college-
level will be evaluated and academic credit may be awarded
when it is considered to be the equivalent to specific course(s) in
the North Carolina Community College System’s Common
Course Library. Documentation of the training must be 65
presented to Student Records in the form of the student's
original discharge papers (DD Form 214 - Member 4 copy) or
an official military transcript.

Total Credits: 13 Total Points: 35
Divide 35 points by 13 credits = 2.692 GPA (Grade Point
Average)
Three GPA’s will appear on the student’s academic record: (1)
cumulative GPA, (2) cumulative program GPA, (3) term GPA.
Grades earned under the quarter system will retain their same
value in calculating the GPA. The computer converts the GPA
from quarter hours to semester hours for students’ combined GPA.
Semester Credit Hours
• 16 contact hours of classroom work equals 1 semester credit
hour.
• 32 or 48 contact hours of laboratory work equals 1 semester
credit hours.
• 48 contact hours of clinical work equals 1 semester credit
hour.
• 160 contact hours of work experience equals 1 semester
credit hour.
Withdrawal
When a student determines that he/she will be unable to
complete courses in which he/she is currently enrolled, it is the
student's responsibility to initiate procedures leading to a formal
withdrawal (W) in order to avoid a failing (F) grade. To receive a
W grade, a student must withdraw prior to the 35 percent date
of the class. Final dates for withdrawing from a course will be
announced in CPCC's Class Schedule and Telephone
Registration Information. The instructor may also assign a W at
other times when circumstances warrant such action. A W will
remain on the transcript and will not count as credit hours
attempted. To receive credit, a student who received a W must re-
register and pay for the course in a subsequent term. Financial
aid recipients need to refer to the financial aid satisfactory
progress policy to determine if schedule adjustments will affect
financial aid. In addition, financial aid students may be required
to repay the US Department of Education any of their
tuition/fees and/or book charges. Veterans affairs students may
go into overpayment by withdrawing from any class. The last
day of attendance is required to be verified for all Financial
Aid/VA students.
Incomplete
An “I” (Incomplete) may be assigned when a student has
persisted through the course and has completed at least 90
percent of the requirements for passing the course or when the
instructor has determined extenuating circumstances exist. When
an “I” is assigned, the instructor must fill out an “Incomplete
Grade Form” and submit to the Division Office. A student must
resolve an “I” (Incomplete) grade within the time frame specified
by the instructor or the division, but no later than six months
from the end of the term for which the grade was assigned.
When an “I” grade has been resolved, the final grade will be
recorded with the “I” (e.g., I/B) and the GPA will be re-
computed. An “I” which is unresolved will be changed to the
grade of “I/F” after the specified expiration date. For veterans
affairs students, the last day of attendance must be verified for
any incomplete grades.
Standards of Academic Progress
Academic Warning: Students who are enrolled in a program
and whose term GPA falls below 2.0 will be placed on Academic
Warning. Students placed on Academic Warning will be blocked
from registering until they contact their faculty advisor or other
designated individual. If the GPA does improve at the end of the
next term, the student is placed back into good standing.
Academic Probation: Students are placed on Academic
Probation if their term GPA does not improve by the end of the
next semester. Students must contact their faculty advisors and
will not be able to register until grades are posted. While on
Academic Probation, students will be limited to registering for
the number of courses approved by their faculty advisors. If their
GPA does not improve by the end of the term of probation,
students are placed on Academic Suspension.
Academic Suspension: Students who do not raise their term
GPA to the required level within the next enrolled term, the third
term of not meeting Standards of Progress, will be placed on
First Academic Suspension. While on First Academic
Suspension, students are referred for academic advisement to a
student counselor who will work with the student to develop an
academic course of action. If students fail to make appropriate
progress during this term on First Academic Suspension, they
will be placed on Final Suspension and suspended from
enrolling in any curricular classes at CPCC for one term.
However, during that term, students have the option to take
developmental classes, ESL, Career Development, Continuing
Education classes, or no classes.
Students who raise their GPA the next term following any of
the above interventions are returned to good standing. Following
Academic Suspension, however, the student must see a
counselor to have the registration block removed before
registering for the next term.
Readmission from Suspension
When the student returns after the term of suspension, he or
she continues to be advised by the student counselor. If, at the
end of the term following suspension, the student’s term GPA
meets the Standards of Progress, he or she is returned to good
standing and a faculty advisor in the program of study.

*MAT 165 Finite Math-in Common Course Library, not academic community, are obligated to take an active role in the
currently taught at CPCC preservation of the standards of academic honesty and integrity,
encouraging others to respect those standards. It is the expectation
of the College that students maintain absolute integrity and high
standards of individual honor in their academic work. Conduct

in academic dishonesty. Any student who violates the CPCC
Code of Student Academic Integrity is subject to academic
disciplinary action. Such action may include, but is not limited
to, entry of the incident in the records of the Office of Student
Development; reduced grades; and dismissal from College
classes, programs and activities.
Student Code of Conduct
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and orderly
educational environment for students and staff. Therefore, when
in the judgment of College officials, a student’s conduct disrupts
or threatens to disrupt the College community, appropriate
disciplinary action will be taken to restore and protect the well
being of the community.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance
with generally accepted standards of scholarship and morality.
The purpose of the Student Code of Conduct (the complete
policy and procedures are located through the College website
www.cpcc.edu) is not to restrict student rights but to protect the
rights of individuals in their academic pursuits.
College Security Officers and employees have the authority
to take immediate actions and begin disciplinary proceedings in
response to violations of the Student Code of Conduct.
Students should note that the possession, consumption, or
distribution of alcohol or illegal drugs, or possession of weapons
on campuses or any other CPCC instructional site is specifically
prohibited and regulated by state statute. Violators will be
prosecuted by the authorities.
Student Grievance Procedure
I. Definition
A grievance is a student allegation that a College action or
decision is discriminatory or has a negative effect on the
student’s status at the College.
II. Regulation
Any student may request a review of any College decision or
action alleged to be discriminatory or to have a negative effect
on the student's status at Central Piedmont Community College.
If the grievance concerns a course grade, then the student should
follow the steps in section V.
III. Procedure
A. The student shall first informally discuss the matter in
College Policies and Procedures
question with the College employee most directly involved
unless the issue is a claim of discriminatory harassment (as
defined in Section 4.31). In that case, the student may appeal
directly to the employee's immediate administrator.
B. If the student is unable to resolve the matter in question
through discussion with the College employee directly involved,
the student may file an appeal with the employee's immediate
administrator. All such appeals shall be in writing and state the
basic facts in the case.
C. During the grievance process a student may seek
mediation after he/she has discussed the grievance with the
College employee most closely involved in the dispute and with
that employee's immediate administrator.
D. If the matter is not resolved, the appeal may be processed
through the employee's supervising administrators in succession
until a satisfactory resolution is obtained or until the appeal
reaches the President. The President's decision will be final
70
E. A student may at any stage of the process consult with the
Associate Vice President for Student Services to obtain advice
regarding the grievance procedure.
IV. Timeliness
A grievance must be presented within 30 days after the
action or decision being questioned. Processing at each step
cannot exceed 30 working days; however, the time may be
extended by agreement of both parties or by extenuating
circumstances as decided by the administrator to whom the
grievance is presented. If the administrator at each step does not
meet processing time limitations, the grievant may then request
higher administrative assistance in obtaining requested relief. If
the grievant does not meet the stated time limitations, the
process will be terminated and such grievance cannot be
resubmitted.
V. Course Grade Appeals Procedure
A part of faculty responsibility at Central Piedmont
Community College is the assignment of student course grades
according to methods, which are professionally acceptable,
comunicated to everyone in the class and applied to all students
equally.
Any student who contests a course grade should attempt first
to resolve the matter with the faculty member who assigned the
grade. Failing to reach a satisfactory resolution, the student may
appeal the course grade in accordance with the procedure
outlined below. While a grade is being appealed, a student is
obligated to abide by the written division policies concerning
continuation in programs or continuation in courses with
prerequisites.
A. The student must consult initially with the faculty
member who assigned the course grade.
B. Students may seek mediation during the Course Grade
Appeals Procedure after they have discussed the grade in
question with the faculty member who assigned the grade, but
prior to presenting the Grade Appeal form to the division
director as described in V. C. below. If the matter is not resolved
through discussion with the faculty member, the student may
request mediation.
C. If the conference between the student and the faculty
member does not resolve the matter, then the student must
complete and submit the Grade Appeal Form to the division
director where the contested course grade was awarded. This
written appeal must be filed within 30 calendar days after the
grade has been posted and cannot be appealed beyond this
period. The written appeal will become the document of record.
The 30-day period will be extended if mediation is a part of the
process.
D. The division director will then confer with the student and
the faculty member to seek resolution by mutual agreement.
When appropriate, the program chair/coordinator in which the
course grade was assigned will be involved in this conference.
E. Failing such resolution, the student may contact the
appropriate instructional dean for an appointment. The dean will
request all documentation, including the Student Grade Appeal
Form from the division director prior to meeting with the
student. Within 10 working days after receiving the
documentation, the dean will confer with the student, faculty
member, division director and when appropriate, program
chair/coordinator. Based on these discussions, the dean with
either render a decision or convene the Grade Appeal
Committee.
F. If the dean renders a decision, he/she will communicate
that decision in writing to the student, the faculty member, the
program chair/coordinator and the division director. If the grade
is to be changed, the dean will change the grade. The dean's
decision will be final.
G. If the dean determines that further evaluation of the
student’s work is warranted, the dean will convene a Grade
 CENTRAL PIEDMONT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Appeal Committee. This committee will consist of the
convening dean and three faculty members. The Faculty Senate
will appoint one member. The student will select one member
and the instructor who assigned the contested grade will select
one member. The faculty member who assigned the grade, the
student, the division director and when appropriate, the program
chair/coordinator, will be present at the meeting. The student
may bring one guest. The student and faculty member will be
given an opportunity to address the committee and to answer
questions. The student’s guest, the division director and the
program chair may not address the committee. The three faculty
members will vote to affirm the grade or to change the grade.
The committee’s decision will be final. The dean will
communicate the committee’s decision in writing to the student,
the division director, program chair and the faculty member who
assigned the grade. If the grade is to be changed, the dean will
change the grade.
H. If the dean changes the grade, the College will assist the
student in resuming studies at the College.

College Transfer Programs — Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Fine Arts Degrees
Central Piedmont offers three degrees designed for college
transfer – the Associate in Arts (A.A. A10100), the Associate in
Science (A.S. A10400) and the Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.
A10200). The A.A. degree emphasizes the liberal arts; the Associate

The degree programs offer courses comparable to the
freshman and sophomore levels at four-year colleges and
universities. Students who want to transfer to a senior institution
should work with an academic advisor, a student counselor or
with a college transfer faculty advisor. These officials will
advise college-transfer students on the strategic selection of
courses that meet their two-year degree requirements and also,
lower division general education requirements at the four-year
schools in North Carolina. Because these requirements vary
among the four-year schools, students should obtain a current
catalog from the 4-year school they plan to attend and discuss
their plans with a representative from the given institution.

Advisement Screen with a statement similar to:
“With the completion of all graduation requirements,
the student will be eligible for the Associate in Arts
(A10100) and the Associate in General Education
(A10300) degree.”
4. The student applies for graduation in the Graduation
Office, submitting a separate application for each degree

the student’s intent on the Advisement Screen and
continues with graduation audit process. If no note is
found on the Advisement Screen, the graduation analyst
informs the student that he/she needs to speak with a
counselor before proceeding.

lifetime educational, personal and career development of midlife

up – classes that concentrate on the mind, body and the
emotional needs of aging adults. From sports or beginning yoga
