Since mid-March, there has been a“Coronavirus Alerts” bar across each page of the Central Piedmont website. This alert bar will go away as of Wednesday, Oct. 7, and will appear only when there is urgent information to communicate. 

You can still find the Coronavirus Updates link in the main navigation on every page of cpcc.edu.

The coronavirus updates area provides comprehensive coronavirus information and specific information for students, including information about student emergency fund grants and the Central Piedmont Cares form you can submit if you need assistance from a Central Piedmont staff member during these challenging times. 

The Returning to Campus page provides access to the Health Acknowledgement form you should complete by Monday each week you plan to be on campus, the Return to Campus Guide for students, and helpful videos. The site also features a COVID-19 chatbot that can help you with questions specifically related to coronavirus. As a reminder, you can get your student ID card online or on campus. Visit the Student IDs page for complete details. 

If there is coronavirus-related information you need that you cannot find on these pages, please send an email to helpdesk@cpcc.edu.

Please visit the Central Piedmont Cares website for information regarding available resources. If you need additional assistance, please fill out the Central Piedmont Cares student form. Once the submission is received, a Central Piedmont staff member will reach out to you within the next 2-3 business days during standard college hours of operation (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.).

Advisory: Gov. Cooper extends statewide stay-at-home order through May 8

Posted on by

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced yesterday he is extending his statewide stay-at-home order through May 8. The order continues to restrict gatherings of more than 10 and allows only essential businesses and institutions to operate. The stay-at-home  order is aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus, which causes COVID-19.

As announced previously, Central Piedmont Community College will complete the spring 2020 semester with students learning – and the vast majority of employees working – remotely.

The spring 2020 graduation ceremony scheduled for May 14 has been postponed. The college plans to hold a number of smaller, in-person, program-focused ceremonies on Central Campus, July 29-31. We will communicate the specific plans as soon as they are complete, but please mark these dates on your calendar. In the meantime, the Graduation Committee is exploring other ways to honor graduates during the month of May. More details to come.

Our summer terms will take place as scheduled. The method of instructional delivery – in-person, online or a combination of the two – will depend on the future severity of the pandemic. Our top priority will be keeping everyone safe. Priority registration for our current students for the summer and fall semesters began April 17. Open registration for new students begins April 27.

Current students who have not done so already should register for their summer and fall classes quickly while plenty of seats are still available.

Please continue to take precautions to stay home and stay healthy. The college has established the Central Piedmont Cares initiative to connect with you and to connect you with helpful resources, as we all continue to navigate this rapidly changing situation. Visit the Central Piedmont Cares website for information regarding available resources.
