19. Potential Questions Regarding CCP How do students register for CCP? Interested students will learn about the CCP program, eligibility requirements and registering for the program by attending a mandatory information session and pick up enrollment package. If a CCP student is not succeeding in his/her class or not attending class, is there a way that the Dean of that particular school can be notified? Students are protected under FERPA. Wake Tech cannot release certain student information (including attendance) without the student’s consent. Students’ Wake Tech transcripts are sent to the school Principal at the end of each semester. Students also have access to their grades.

20. Potential Questions Regarding CCP Does the instructors know if they have a CCP student in their class who is a WCPSS student? In other words, do they know if they are non WCPSS students or regular students? – Instructors may not know they have a CCP student in their class; typically they do not know CCP students from “regular” Wake Tech students.
