Accessing the Central Piedmont Website

Central Piedmont homepage

It has come to our attention that some students, faculty, and staff members are having difficulty accessing the Central Piedmont website.

To access the college’s website (www.cpcc.edu), please include “www” in the URL address. Simply typing cpcc.edu (without the “www” in the URL) may not work at times.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Information Technology Services Help Desk at helpdesk@cpcc.edu or at 704.330.5000.

The New Website is Coming Tuesday (4/30)!

What’s in it for me, as a student?
We’re only days away from the launch of the new website (cpcc.edu)! It will include a dedicated “Current Students” section that’s accessible from every page on the site. The purpose of the area is to provide quick links to the content and tools you need to be a Central Piedmont student, such as Blackboard, MyCollege, and student email, plus links to support services and ways to get involved at the college. If we missed a link to information you commonly use, just let us know by emailing the Help Desk at helpdesk@cpcc.edu.

What’s new?
This is not a new surface put on the old website: Central Piedmont teams plowed through the nearly 30,000 pages of content on the current cpcc.edu website and create a thoroughly modern, student-focused way to present the information the site visitors needed to know. The new site is just that: completely new.

The look and feel, functionality, and voice of the new website were created with a lot of input from hundreds of faculty, staff, and students like you… from multiple focus groups, to in-person meetings with Student Government Association (SGA) leaders, to surveys all students could use to give feedback. We are confident we heard what you want, and built a new website that will meet — and exceed — your needs.

So come celebrate with us! As a reminder, you’re invited to Central Piedmont’s celebration next Tuesday, April 30, as we launch the college’s new logo, new colors, and the new website (cpcc.edu). Here are details:​
