ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ believes that students currently enrolled in secondary education should have potential pathways to obtain college credits as they work to complete their secondary credential.  Pathways currently available at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ for students interested in this goal include Stanly Early College, Stanly STEM Early College, and the Career and College Promise Program.  The Career and College Promise Program has replaced all other previously used programs for dual enrollment.

Career and College Promise offers the following methods for high school students to take college classes.

1. Rising 9th graders can go through the application process for admittance to Stanly Early College/Stanly STEM Early College. Applications are handled by Stanly County Schools. There is a strict deadline for filing an application and the timeline is noted on the early college website. If admitted to Early College as a rising 9th grader, the student will be exposed not only to the high school curriculum but also to college curriculum of one of ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿’s associate degree programs.
2. Qualified junior and senior high school students may take college classes to complete a 30+ hour College Transfer Pathway. The College Transfer Pathway consists of courses transferable to institutions within the UNC System Institutions and many of NC's Independent Colleges and Universities.
3. Qualified junior and senior high school students can take college classes in a career and technical pathway that may lead to a credential, certificate, or diploma.
4. Qualified freshmen and sophomore high school students may take college classes in Engineering Technologies (40xxx), Industrial Technologies (50xxx), Agriculture and Natural Resources (15xxx), Transportation (60xxx), Construction (35xxx), and Business (25xxx). These courses may lead to a career and technical credential, certificate, or diploma.
5. Juniors and seniors may enroll in the Career and College Ready (CRP) pathway. Enrollment in this pathway provides students access to developmental/supplemental courses. This pathway becomes available to students in the summer term before the junior year in high school.

• Stanly County High Schools – contact the school’s guidance counselor to determine eligibility.

Additionally, faculty should be aware that dual enrolled students (CCP and Early College) may be impacted differently by withdrawals. Instructors should contact the Director of Dual Enrollment prior to issuing a W for dual enrolled students.
