COLLEGE APPLICATION RESOURCES
Below are several important resources for your college application process. If you have any questions about these resources, or need any help with your college application process, please contact me to schedule an appointment. Please email me at susan.west@nhcs.net with your questions. We can schedule a virtual meeting via zoom or meet in person in my office.
COLLEGE FOUNDATION OF NORTH CAROLINA
The College Foundation of North Carolina has created an in depth resource for career planning, college research, financial aid planning, and residency determination, as well as an NC college application service & transcript sending service.
Ashley HS Student Services helps each Ashley student set up their CFNC account during their sophomore English class. If you do not remember your login, or if you think you missed the opportunity to set up your account, please contact your counselor.
THE COMMON APPLICATION
The Common Application is a national college application platform utilized by over 800 colleges, including many NC institutions. The Common Application has video tutorials that can help students through their college application process, as well as planning a research tools.
CAPE FEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Cape Fear Community College has a variety of post-secondary educational options, including 2+2 transfer programs and 2-year assciates degrees, as well as programs of study that lead to credentials, certificates and diplomas. You can review those options here.
​
We are fortunate to have a CFCC counselor assigned to our campus, Ms Annette Johnson. When school is in session, Ms Johnson is on campus Thursday and Friday in Room 316. She can be reached by email at annette.johnson@nhcs.net or at ajohnson@cfcc.edu.
The easiest way to apply & send your transcripts to CFCC is through CFNC.org.
THE COMMON BLACK COLLEGES APPLICATION
Whereas most of the time you pay application fees to each college you submit an application to, the Common Black College App allows you to apply to all 55 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) who are members of the service for a one-time application fee of $20.
It’s important to note that the CBCA does not handle supplementary materials such as letters of recommendation or essays. Those you will have to send directly to each school that requires them, although there will be no additional fees incurred.
