The College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) was developed by the State Board of
Education in an effort to address post secondary institutions' complaints that
students were graduating from high school without sufficient academic
preparation for college. Effective with the Class of 1988, students graduating
from public schools in
To accommodate students who decided late to attend college or who attended high schools that did not offer the entire curriculum, the University System agreed to grant provisional acceptance to students who had not completed all CPC requirements. Students who otherwise qualify for admission may enroll providing that they make up any CPC deficiencies within their first thirty hours of credit. Even though the deficiencies are in the high school background, they are to be made up with college level work.

Important Points to Remember:
- If a course is used to satisfy a CPC deficiency, then it will not count toward core requirements; additional coursework must be selected to satisfy core requirements. (See Core Curriculum).
- A "C" or better must be earned in CPC courses to satisfy the deficiency.
- Grades earned in CPC courses do count in grade point averages.
- Hours in CPC courses count as institutional hours toward full time enrollment status but do not count as hours earned.
- Students must make up CPC deficiencies prior to earning 30 semester hours to prevent a hold on their registration.
- CPC deficiencies will be indicated on the students' printed schedule sheet in the area marked "Registration Holds and Special Conditions."
- Courses used to satisfy CPC
deficiencies will be indicated in a special section on the student
progress report and will show zero hours earned.
