coursework

high school-Dual enrollment

MY HIGH SCHOOL HAS A FORMAL ARRANGEMENT WITH A LOCAL COLLEGE TO OFFER CCP. ARE THOSE THE ONLY COURSES I CAN TAKE? No. After admitted to a college, you can take any courses
offered by that college that you are college-ready to take(excluding remedial courses)
Two or more pathways are offered by each high school, but students are not limited to courses in those pathways

successfully completed under CCP will satisfy or exceed the graduation requirements of the school district
CCP courses will be listed by the course title on the transcript
A CCP course will be computed into the GPA using the same scale as Advanced Placement when an Advanced Placement course in that subject is also offered at Berkshire High School

Responsibility for transportation rests with the student
WHAT IF I FAIL A CLASS? Classes failed or withdrawn with an “F” will
receive an “F” on the high school and college transcripts and will be calculated into the high school and college GPA

are guaranteed to transfer to any other Ohio public college
