What is CDM?

Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM) is an option for obtaining high school course credit for standard level courses (Honors, Advanced Placement, Healthful Living, and some Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses are not eligible) in North Carolina. CDM is the process by which a local school system shall, based upon a body-of-evidence, award a student credit in a particular high school course without requiring the student to complete classroom instruction for a certain amount of seat time. "Mastery" is defined as a student's command of course material at a level that demonstrates a deep understanding of the content standards and application of knowledge.

Who is eligible for CDM?

All students for high school courses within the recommended scope and sequence are eligible.
