The Career and College Promise offers three different 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. There is a strict deadline for filing an application to Stanly Early College so please make sure you refer to the early college website for the application time line. If admitted to Stanly Early College as a rising 9th grader, the student will be exposed to not only the high school curriculum but also to college curriculum of one of Stanly Community College’s associates programs.

2. Qualified junior and senior high school students can take college classes to complete a 30 hour College Transfer Pathway.  The College Transfer Pathway consists of four different pathways that are transferable to institutions within the UNC University System.

3. Qualified junior and senior high school students may take college classes leading toward a variety of Career Promise Certificates. Some certificates are in conjunction with the high school CTE career clusters.

To participate in the Career and College Promise program you must first contact your guidance counselor to determine if you qualify.
