The Welcome Centers at all Central Piedmont campuses remain open 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. Dec. 19-22 to help you get registered for spring classes or with other questions! (Evening hours at the Central Campus Welcome Center will not be available that week).

Central Piedmont will be closed for the winter break from Friday, Dec. 23 through Monday, Jan. 2. The college will re-open on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023.

The Welcome Centers and the IT Service Desk will also re-open at that time for registration help and technology assistance. You can still register and pay for spring classes online through Jan. 8, 2023, even while the college is closed.

IT service requests can still be created at servicedesk.cpcc.edu. These requests will be processed when the college reopens. If you have questions about Brightspace for a winter session class, you can continue to use the Brightspace 24/7 support even when the college is closed by clicking on the Support heading in the Brightspace navigation bar.

Have a Safe Winter Break!

Whether you are taking a winter session class or laying low this holiday season, we are still here to support you with whatever you need.

Here are some resources to help you:

  • Financial Aid Needs : There are scholarships for spring 2021 and grants available if they need help with paying for classes. 
  • Personal Needs: We have Emergency Grants available for unexpected financial emergencies.
  • Basic Needs: The Single Stop office is  available online or by phone to help connect  students to a variety of basic needs resources.
  • Technology Needs: Students can borrow laptops and WiFi hotspots for the spring 2021 semester at no cost
  • Academic/Emotional Needs: The Counseling Services team is available by email, phone, or video appointments to help   students with personal and academic counseling. 
  • College Services Needs: Our campus services and resources are still accessible remotely for our students.
Central Piedmont is currently (and safely) offering courses in multiple formats — online, hybrid, blended, and in-person. (Hybrid and blended courses include both online and some face-to-face instruction.) Central Piedmont continues to follow the state’s in-person guidelines that apply to higher education.
If you still need to take core classes or required courses for your major, we are dedicated to making sure you can keep going. The college will be closed Dec. 24 — Jan. 1 for the winter holiday — but online registration will still be available online.
