Once all applications and supporting documents have been properly submitted, allow 7-10 business days for processing. Students will receive acceptance letters through the mail and email with instructions regarding setting up their MyCFCC accounts.

Once admitted, students can view their chosen pathway courses and offerings through self-service (located in the Launchpad area of the myCFCC student portal).

To access, students will select the “Self-Service” tab under Launchpad. From there, students will click on “Student Planning,” then “Go to My Progress.” From here, students can view their pathway and the courses they are eligible to select from.

For assistance with navigating self-service and selecting courses, reference this tutorial .

Tuition is waived for CCP students during the fall, winter, spring, and summer terms. Still, CCP students are responsible for paying student activity fees, parking/security fees, technology fees, textbooks, and any required supplies. Payment of fees is expected at the time of registration.

This can be done in person at our business office or online by accessing the Pay Tuition and Fees link under Launchpad in myCFCC. Students who register early enough may be eligible for a payment plan by accessing the payment plan link through their student portal. The fee total is based on the number of credits taken. Parking/security fees are not charged for online classes.
