High School Academies

Applying is simple. Just follow these steps!

Step 1: Meet with your high school counselor to get information about how the Academies will work with your high school schedule.

Step 2: Complete the CCBC Online Application. Once you click the link to apply to CCBC, you will be required to create a login. Once you have created that login, you will then be sent an email (check your spam folder as well), and that email will prompt you to create a password. Once your password is created, you will then be directed to the application. Once at the application, you will see definitions of the different types of applications, and you must select which program you are applying for. Please do not select College in High School or Dual Enrollment. Once you select the appropriate application, in this case, the High School Academy application, it will then prompt you to complete the remainder of the application process. When you arrive at the Program selection question, you will want to select the appropriate major for the Academy you will be attending. Please only select one of the options below on the application:

• Aviation Academy Options: Professional Pilot, Air Traffic Control, or Aerospace Management (all pathways take the same courses).
• Health Academy Options: Allied Health Nursing, Allied Health Radiologic Technology, or Allied Health Sciences (all pathways take the same courses).
• STEM Academy Options: Engineering, Computer Science, or Cybersecurity (courses may be different for each pathway).
• Criminal Justice Academy Options: Criminal Justice.
• Education Academy Options: PreK- 4th or Secondary Education (courses may be different for each pathway).
• Business Academy

Step 3: After applying online to the Academies, acquire all signatures on the required signature page, which is part of the Academies Admissions Packet. You can print that document by clicking here.

Step 4: Turn in the signature page to your high school counselor. Your high school counselor can scan and email the signature page along with your current high school transcripts and most current grade report to collegehereandnow@ccbc.edu.

Step 5: Once the application, signature page, high school transcripts, and most current grade report are received, the College Here and Now team will review your application for acceptance into the academies. The team begins to review applications in March of each year. Applications will be accepted until the end of July.

Step 6: Upon acceptance to any of the CCBC High School Academies, you will receive an official acceptance letter in the Spring or Summer depending on when the team received your application and other supporting documents. This letter contains important details and information. All accepted applicants begin classes in the Fall.

Step 7: The acceptance letter will give you details on how to start the onboarding and the registration process.
