College & Career Readiness comprises the following programs: English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), Adult Secondary Education (ASE), Adult High School (AHS), ABE Pathfinders and High School Equivalency Preparation for migrant farmworkers and their families (HEP). These programs are generally available to individuals 16 and older who are North Carolina residents, are not visiting or in the U.S. on a J-1 or F-1 visa and are not currently enrolled in high school.
To enroll in any of these programs, please review the following requirements and instructions:
Success in the program requires time, hard work and commitment. To support your success, our attendance policy requires that students attend at least 75% of their class meeting hours. The College & Career Readiness program is delivered through hourly instruction. Therefore, regular attendance is defined as arriving on time and participating in the entire class period. Students who are unable to meet this requirement will be dropped from their classes.
Regular attendance will help you in the pursuit of your educational and career goals. It will also allow students to preregister for classes in our next quarter (at locations where preregistration is an option).
State Board Community College Code: 1D SBCCC 300.4 allows for minor students, ages 16 and 17, to enroll in self-supporting classes. Minors are allowed to register and pay online for self-supporting classes (courses with prefixes of CSP or SEF) unless otherwise specified in the course details. Enrollment in non-self-supporting courses will require course supervisor approval prior to in-person registration.
