NC College Connect Offering Direct Admissions to Eligible High School Seniors

Exciting news! NC College Connect is launching a groundbreaking initiative offering Direct Admission to eligible high school seniors across the state for the 2025–2026 school year!

Open to public and charter school seniors with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or higher who meet course requirements, students will be matched with colleges where they already qualify—no traditional application needed.

The program now includes more UNC System schools, NC Independent Colleges and Universities, and NC Community Colleges. Eligible students will be notified this fall and will be able to accept their offers by completing a short form on CFNC.org.

Learn more by attending one of the events below. Additional information and a toolkit for educators will be available later in the summer.
