A message from the campus:
Welcome to the Catawba Valley Community College Online Application!

If you are interested in a Continuing Education course, STOPDO NOT COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION!  Go to this link http://www.cvcc.edu/Learning_And_Personal_Enrichment/ to be directed to the Continuing Education homepage.

International Students!  Read this before continuing …  Catawba Valley Community College is approved to issue I-20 forms for all associate degree programs, including university transfer Associate in Science or Associate in Arts degrees. These programs prepare students to enter most four-year colleges and universities at the junior level to complete a bachelor’s degree.  For more information go to this link http://www.cvcc.edu/Admissions/International_Students.cfm and you will be directed to the International Students homepage.

Although CVCC does offer an online application, these applications must be activated in person by visiting the Student Services Office. Student Services counselors are available to meet with you Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  (Student Services closes at 5:00 p.m. on “non-student” days.
Student Services is closed on Fridays during the summer months)  YOU MUST BRING A PHOTO ID WITH YOU.

Thank you for choosing Catawba Valley Community College as a resource to help you to succeed in your educational journey.

Begin to achieve your goals by:

  •     Completing and submitting the online application for admission
  •     Completing the “checklist of things to do” after applying for admission to CVCC
  •     Meeting with a Student Services counselor.  (At this meeting, you will be provided with information on your program of study.  You will also be scheduled for placement testing, if applicable.)  Currently, no appointment is necessary.

We offer two options for students interested in a Nursing career.  One is the AAS Degree (2 year program) through CVCC.  The other is a college transfer degree AA-Pre-Nursing (2 years at CVCC and then transfer to a 4-year college or university to complete your degree).  Please be sure you select the correct option when choosing this program of study.

If you are planning to transfer to a 4-year college or university, select a degree that contains the words “college transfer” in parenthesis.  If you are not sure of the specific college transfer program, select the General (college transfer) program.

If you are not seeking a degree, select the “Special Credit” program.

Again, thank you for choosing CVCC.  We look forward to helping you to believe, achieve, and succeed as a student.

High School Transcripts



Some North Carolina public high schools have the capability to electronically send official high school transcripts when you apply online. We encourage you to visit your school counselor to verify coursework and grades prior to requesting an electronic transcript.

To send an electronic transcript, you must:

  • Complete this online application.
  • Make sure you have entered the following information in your profile and/or application:
    • First and Last Name - This must match your NCWISE name (use the name that appears on your report card, or check with your high school counselor).
    • NCWISE Student ID - Your NCWISE Student ID is your public high school student identifier number and can be found on your report card. Providing the NCWISE Student ID is voluntary and will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript electronically.
    • Current High School
    • Date of Birth
    • E-mail Address
    • Gender
  • Be currently enrolled, or enrolled at the time of graduation, at a participating public high school in North Carolina that has converted from the SIMS system to NCWISE to manage student data. If you are not sure about your school's current status, or its status at the time you graduated, check with your school counselor or office staff.
If these conditions were met when you submitted your application, you will then be presented with the option of sending your high school transcript electronically to that school.
