As we continue to deal with statewide COVID-19 restrictions, Central Piedmont is excited to welcome you for summer 2021. Our top priority is to maintain the academic integrity we have always prided ourselves on and to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe while doing so.

If you’re attending class on-campus, you must complete the required Health Acknowledgment Form, which is a self-declaration of your current state of health and commitment to following safety best practices while on campus. Just log in to MyCollege, select “Student Services,” and choose the “Health Acknowledgement and Pre-Check” form at the bottom of the page. Review these instructions if you need to access the form from an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, etc.).

Please also remember to wear a face covering, which is required while indoors on campus. Any changes to Central Piedmont’s COVID-19 guidelines, following Gov. Roy Cooper’s announcement on Friday to immediately lift social distancing and mask-wearing requirements across the state, will be announced in the coming days. Please stay tuned to your Central Piedmont email for updates.

Here are the top seven things you really need to know to be prepared for the new semester:

• Check your email regularly.
  Your college email account is the official means of college email communication, so please check your account often to make sure you get all important updates.
• Use your Central Piedmont Login to access
  My College. Access My College to find important information, such as: your class schedule; residency status; priority registration dates; enrollment verification; critical alert information; financial aid information.
• Get your Student ID Card
  Students needing a new college ID card can visit any of the college’s ID stations, located on any campus, to have their new ID made. It’s a valuable resource, allowing you to check out materials from the library. For more information, or with any questions regarding IDs, please email idcard@cpcc.edu.
• Read Central Piedmont Today.

• Parking decals not required
  In consideration of COVID-19, students are not required to display a summer 2021 parking decal for the duration of the term. Tickets will not be issued to students returning to campus for in-person instruction during this time. Students will not be able to park in reserved or designated areas. If you have any questions, please contact the Central Piedmont Information Center at 704.330.2722.
