When can I schedule classes during the day?

• You MUST consider the Athens Bell Schedule when selecting CCP courses. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of two consecutive Athens classes (1st/2nd period OR 2nd/3rd period OR 3rd/4th period).
  Seniors are allowed a minimum of 3 total classes per semester, including CCP courses. Juniors must take a minimum of 4 total classes per semester, including CCP courses. Sophomores must take 4 classes at Athens, but can take one additional class via CCP in the Spring semester. Schedule reductions will not be permitted for 10th graders.
  • Taking just one CCP course?  You should have three Athens courses.
  • If you enroll in two CCP courses, you'll have two Athens courses.
  • We do not recommend more than 5 classes total in one semester.
• Unless the course is asynchronous/online, you need to give yourself plenty of time to leave our campus and arrive at your destination.
  • If leaving Athens after 2nd period, choose Wake Tech classes beginning at 11:30 or later.
  • If leaving Athens after 3rd period, choose Wake Tech classes beginning at 1:30 or later.
• Prepare to leave Athens immediately at the end of your scheduled Athens courses. This is a WCPSS Dual Enrollment policy.

Am I allowed to drop a course at Wake Tech?

• Wake Tech has different rules for dropping courses than Athens does!
• Dropping a CCP course may not impact your Wake Tech GPA, but it WILL affect your high school transcript and GPA.
• DO NOT drop a CCP course without prior permission from Ms. Pearson.
• Dropping a CCP course may result in a WF (failing grade) on your high school transcript and in your high school GPA calculation.
• No matter what Wake Tech says, do NOT drop courses without permission from Ms. Pearson!

How are courses weighted in dual enrollment?

• College Transfer Pathway:This link shows Wake Tech courses and their potential GPA weight for your Athens transcript. Find the course you are interested in and check the number in the "GPA Added Value Column". Most  classes in this pathway carry an additional 1.0 credit weight on your GPA (the same as AP courses). A 0.5 is weighted like an Honors course, and a 0 is a standard course. All courses taken in this pathway will be added to your transcript - whatever you earn at Wake Tech, is what is added to your transcript at Athens, no matter the outcome! (Note that this link has all NC DPI course codes, but students are only eligible to take classes in their pathway.)
• Career and Technical Education Pathway: This link shows Wake Tech courses and their potential GPA weight for your Athens transcript. Find the course you are interested in and check the number in the "GPA Added Value Column". Most of these courses are not weighted like AP courses. Some classes in this pathway carry an additional 0.5 credit weight on your GPA (the same as honors courses). A 0 is a standard course. All courses taken in this pathway will be added to your transcript - whatever you earn at Wake Tech, is what is added to your transcript at Athens, no matter the outcome!
