CCAP students won't need to register for their CCAP classes but are free to take additional classes with no tuition or fees. Due to the number of dual enrollment students and questions that may need answering ahead of registration or planning for next year, I wanted to make myself available for any questions or support I can provide. I will be holding zoom sessions every Monday at 12-2pm starting 4/6 and ending 4/20. Feel free to share this with any students or staff. These can just be general inquiries you might have, student questions, registration support, check on approved dual enrollment status, or light advising if they're unsure where to start.
Hopefully these provide some slight assistance during this time and feel free to still reach out if there are large groups of students that require in person assistance and we can schedule a time.
