YES. TCCC offers opportunities for high school students to earn college credit under the North Carolina Career and College Promise program. This program provides affordable opportunities for students interested in transfer courses, technical courses, or our Early College program.
What about AP classes?

No. Other than the fact that you won’t have to pay tuition, you will be treated with the same respect afforded all our students. Remember, however, that this respect works both ways. You will be treated as an adult, and you’ll be expected to act like one.
Check out these cost savings. Most likely you won’t be enrolled full-time every semester you dual enroll, but you can see that your savings add up quickly.
