CCP Basics
What does CCP stand for?
What is the role of a college liaison?
They support students throughout the Career and College (CCP) program. They approve or deny course requests, remove registration restrictions from student accounts, and serve as the primary contact for dropping or withdrawing from courses after the semester begins. They also connect students with Durham Tech resources, collect required documentation such as transcripts, advise on course selection, and assist students in navigating the community college system.

What does the Center of Academic Excellence provide?
The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) provides free academic support to help students - primarily in the form of one-on-one tutoring or small group sessions
How do I verify my eligibility for CCP?
You must either have a unweighted high school GPA of a 2.8 or higher OR demonstrate college readiness through your test scores (pre-ACT, PSAT, ACT, SAT, or Durham Tech placement tests).
What is Self-Service?
Self-Service is your main student portal/hub where you will be able to register for courses, see your course schedule, view your academic history/transcript, and pay for any course fees (if applicable).
What are the 3 dual-enrollment pathways available at Durham Tech?
College Transfer (CT) Pathway, Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway, and Cooperative Innovative High School (CISH) Pathway
Where does my college liaison work?
Your college liaison splits their time between your school's campus and Durham Tech's main campus.
How do I access a loaner laptop through Durham Tech?
You can request to borrow a loaner laptop through the Durham Tech Library at no cost. They can be checked out for the entirety of the semester.
What are 3 steps I must take after verifying my eligibility?
1. Complete an online application (in CFNC)
2. Activate student email and self-service accounts
3. Accept orientation invitation and complete the required orientation quiz
What is Canvas?
Canvas is the digital hub for your classes, and it is where you can access course materials (including syllabi), submit assignments, take quizzes, check your grades, and communicate (virtually) with your instructors.
$0! As a student at a Cooperative Innovative High School (CIHS), you will not be asked to pay tuition OR course fees for any classes you take during the academic year (fall and spring semesters).
You can email them at their Durham Tech email address. It is best practice to do so from your Durham Tech email account.
You can also text or call them, but email is preferred.
Durham Tech has a Campus Harvest Food Pantry, and you are able to access snacks/drinks once a week. The food pantry is open Monday - Thursday from 9AM to 5PM.
Once I have completed the orientation and set up my student accounts, I can register for classes on my own.
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE! You must meet with your college liaison for advising before you are able to officially register for courses. They will need to remove registration holds on your account first.
I am not able to access my student email or Self-Service or Canvas accounts. What should I do?
Your first step is to contact your college liaison. You can also contact the Durham Tech Help Desk (helpdesk@durhamtech.edu).
What programs could I work towards completing at Durham Tech while a student at Durham Early College of Health Sciences?
Nursing, Medical Assisting, Surgical Technology, and Clinical Research
My college liaison will make sure to respond immediately to me while I am doing CCP.
TRUE or FALSE?
False. Your college liaison works with countless students, so they likely cannot reply to you immediately, but they will certainly respond to you in a timely fashion. They are a great first point of contact at Durham Tech, AND you will have plenty of additional support (faculty and staff at DECHS) as well.
If I require accessibility services to complete CCP, what is the process for requesting these at Durham Tech?
Your 504 plan and/or IEP does not automatically transfer to Durham Tech. You will need to request documentation from your high school and have it sent to our Accessibility Services office. It is best to do this at least a month in advance of your course start date.
What is the process for continuing on as an undergraduate student at Durham Tech after I graduate from high school?
You must complete a separate online application specifically for undergraduate students. You must also complete a process/form known as Residency Determination Service (RDS) to verify your in-state residence for tuition purposes. Last, you will likely need to apply for financial aid by completing the FAFSA.
