FAQs

Q.  I got a letter from Admissions telling me to come to CAPS.  Is that right?

A.  You do need to come to CAPS, but only AFTER you have taken the Placement Tests.  CAPS needs those scores to ensure you will register for the correct courses.

Q.  I don’t know what I want to major in.  Can you help me?

A.  We can help with those choices in a number of ways, through both listening to you talk about what you enjoy doing and through interest inventories and personality tests.

Q.  How can I make sure that the classes I take at CCC will transfer to another school?

A.  CAPS has a complete listing of all articulated course equivalencies for the entire North Carolina Community College system.  It also has a listing of transfer courses for many four year schools and regularly hosts visits of representatives from nearby four year colleges.
