Is there a high school senior in your life? If they’re a public high school senior, they are already admitted to college with NC College Connect. No essays or test scores needed!
NC College Connect directly admits North Carolina public high school seniors to select UNC System universities, North Carolina independent colleges and universities, and their local North Carolina community college where they already meet admissions requirements. It’s that simple!
Students with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or above who meet NC College Connect requirements will be eligible for direct admission at a select list of participating colleges and universities.
If a student doesn’t meet the 2.8 GPA threshold, they will receive direct admission to their local community college.
How does it work? On September 15th, students can log in to their College for North Carolina (CFNC) student account to see if they’re eligible. All eligible students will also receive a formal letter in the mail in late September. On the NC College Connect portal at CFNC.org, applicants will see a complete list of colleges and universities to which they have been admitted. They will then have the option to complete the NC College Connect form to accept the admission offer at the institution of their choice. Then, colleges will reach out with next steps on enrollment, financial aid, and more.
Colleges and universities are directly admitting students with a simple, streamlined process that gets students where they want to be – and where they will thrive.
Learn more about the process, explore NC College Connect requirements, and check out the full list of participating schools at NCCollegeConnect.org.
If a student isn’t currently a senior, there are still plenty of things they can do to start preparing for their future. CFNC.org offers numerous resources to explore colleges, scholarships, and financial aid options.
