Community colleges have both associate degree (2-year) and diploma programs as well as college transfer programs (transferring to a 4-year university after spending the first two years at a community college). There are 59 community colleges in North Carolina.

NCAA Eligibility for College-Bound Athletes
The NCAA has established a central eligibility center to certify athletic eligibility to Division I and II institutions (Division III institutes do not require NCAA eligibility). Students, who intend to participate with or without a scholarship as a freshman in college, must register with and be certified as eligible by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center.
Refer to the NCAA 2021 Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete to learn information about academic requirements to compete, and inform you about what to expect as you become a student-athlete in one of the three collegiate divisions. You can also watch a Video on NCAA Initial Eligibility Standards from the Eligibility Coordinator at NC State.
It is important that a student plans accordingly throughout high school in order to take the correct classes that will be counted toward their core GPA. A list of approved Wake County Courses can be found in the Wake County High School Planning Guide.
