Class of 2022-Making Plans

The Clover Garden Class of 2022 is making #GRIZZLYtracks. We are proud to share that twenty seniors have submitted sixty-seven applications to twenty different schools with thirty-five applications still pending submission! These numbers do not include the applications made directly through the college or through other portals such as CFNC.  

Four of our Seniors have already committed to going to ACC with plans to transfer to one of the universities with a co-admission agreement (UNC, NC A&T, UNCW, ECU, UNCG, APP State, Elon, Guilford College, or Lees-McRae).

Below is a list of the colleges/universities our Grizzlies have already applied to! Good luck seniors. We can’t wait to celebrate your acceptances!

Take a moment to go over the information shown below. It explains some of the ‘technical’ terms you need to be familiar with as you apply or plan to apply.

What is a Co-Agreement?

ACC provides a gateway to our state’s four-year colleges and universities through system-wide agreements, as well as special transfer agreements, bilateral agreements, and co-admission agreements. Co-admission agreements allow students to be admitted to a university while they complete an associate degree. The College also has also special agreements and bilateral agreements with specific colleges and universities to encourage and support the transfer process.

Carolina Student Transfer Excellence Program (C-STEP)
Who is eligible for C-STEP?  The ideal C-STEP candidate is a strong student whose household income falls at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.   To be eligible, students also must have completed all necessary developmental coursework and place into college-level coursework.  The screening process for candidates is comprehensive and holistic and considers, among other criteria, demonstrated ability to overcome obstacles, first-generation college status, diversity, employment history, and family responsibilities.

Aggie Plus with NC A&T State University
Aggie Plus offers a seamless transition from ACC to N.C. Agricultural & Technical State University. Participants must complete an Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), or Associate in Engineering (AE) degree prior to transferring to NC A&T. Students must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA and obtain a “C” or better on all transferable coursework.

Community College Collaboration (C3)
