Textbooks

There may be some issues with textbook orders in the campus bookstore - related to the campus's cyberintrusion in November/December. The campus is still working to overcome specific networking challenges.

Don't forget that our Program provides a textbook listing on our website here.

CPCE (comps) in the Spring of 2024

Practicum and pre-practicum students planning to take the CPCE (comps) in the spring 2024 need to register by January 20th to be authorized for testing in the spring testing window (March 11-22, 2024). We don't currently have a summer testing window and pre-practicum students should take the CPCE in the March testing window.

You will complete the CPCE registration survey and await Dr. Barrow's further instructions in late-January. Go to nccucounseling.com>Comprehensive Exam>CPCE Registration Interest
which will take you to a Google survey you complete to tell Dr. Barrow how you would like to test (at home, at NCCU, or at a Pearson Vue site near you). For more information please visit http://www.nccucounseling.com/student2/index.php/advising/comprehensive-exam
