The College Credit Plus Program was created by the Ohio Legislature to allow students to earn college and high school credit simultaneously.
The program began during the fall 2015 semester and replaced the former Postsecondary Enrollment Options Program which had been in existence since 1989.
Tuition, fees and textbooks related to the coursework are provided to the student free of charge.
Public school students can take a maximum of 30 credits per year, and nonpublic and homeschooled must apply to the state to receive funding for credits.
What is College Credit Plus?
New CCP Rules

Students in the College Credit Plus program who are deemed “underperforming” and are placed on CCP Probation are due to the following conditions (check one or both, as applicable):
– Has a cumulative GPA of lower than a 2.0 in the college courses taken through the CCP program.
– Withdraws from, or receives no credit for, two or more courses in the same term. (Withdrawing from a course occurs when the student dis-enrolls from a course after the census date and the secondary school is financially responsible for the tuition associated with the course.)
CCP Probation
8
Underperforming Student Rule
Action: • A student on CCP Probation may enroll in no more than one college course and the
student will not enroll in a college course in the same subject in which the student earned a grade of D or F or for which the student received no credit.
• If the student had already registered for more than one course prior to being placed on CCP Probation, the student must request each college or university to dis-enroll the student from courses as necessary.
• The student, as noted above, may continue to be enrolled in one course. The student must notify that college in which course the student would like to remain enrolled.
• If the student fails to dis-enroll, the secondary school will promptly notify the student and the student’s parent that the student will be responsible for paying all tuition, fees, and textbooks costs. That student is also then considered an ineligible student and is dismissed from the CCP program in the next term.
• If the student on CCP Probation takes one course and the grade raises the student’s cumulative GPA to a 2.0 or higher, the student is removed from CCP Probation and may participate in the program without restrictions.
• If the grade does not raise the cumulative GPA to a 2.0 or higher, the secondary school is responsible for dismissing the student from the program.
CCP Probation & Dismissal
9
Nothing in this rule shall alter, supersede, or otherwise be construed to affect any institution of higher education's policies or procedures on academic probation or dismissal. Each student participating in the college credit plus program shall be subject to the academic probation and dismissal policies and procedures of each institution of higher education in which the student is enrolled.

Case Study #1
Matthew is a high school student going into his junior year, taking his first semester of CCP courses. While talking about classes to take for the upcoming semester, he mentions that he wants to be an engineer and wants to take Calculus I so he can get a head start on his degree. While looking into his test scores, you see that his highest ACT score is 17 on Math. He says that he is in Algebra II currently at his High School but he is ready for college math.
What are some of the talking points you would go over with Matthew?
23
Case Study #2Sara is a Senior in the CCP program who contacts you about taking an additional spring semester course. She indicates that she spoke to her high school counselor and she still has 3 credits remaining for CCP funding so she would like to take Medical Terminology. She has already applied to your institution as a new freshman and plans to major in Nursing. Medical Terminology is not required for Nursing, nor does the major allow any electives. You explain this to Sara and she says “Just put me in any 3 credit course so I can get it for free.”
How would you advise the student?
24
Case Study #3Mike is a Sophomore who is attending his CCP orientation with his mom. Before you can say hello to Mike, mom introduces herself with a firm handshake and states, “Our goal is to major in engineering and get all of the general classes out of the way before we have to pay for them.” Mike’s mom sits in the seat with the most direct line of eye contact and pulls out her notes.
“We have done A LOT of research”, she states…
How do you proceed? How does FERPA come in to play?
25
Case Study #4Kelly is a “new freshman” who just graduated from high school and is attending orientation to enroll at your institution. Kelly has earned 43 credits through CCP at another university. She intends to major in Accounting and has completed all of her general education requirements.
Kelly plans to enroll as a full time student, but she still does not meet the prerequisites for many of the Accounting courses. How do you advise her?
