TABLE OF CONTENTS
2
Since obtaining a high school education and diploma has never been so important, students should
carefully plan out their course of study and desired pathway. A high school diploma must be earned
before entering a junior college, college or university, and admission to any institution that offers
advanced training. Individuals without a high school diploma might not be permitted in the Armed
Forces.
Selecting High School Subjects and Completing Registration
Program selection is an individual matter. A course that is good for one student may be totally wrong
for another. When making program selection, consider input from parents, teachers, and counselors
concerning your previous school record, past experience, future plans, and special abilities.
All students meet with a school counselor for advice and assistance in selecting subjects. Parents/
guardians are encouraged to contact their school counselor with any questions or concerns regarding
their child’s schedule and academic achievement.
Graduation Requirements
Graduation requirements include earned credits and testing requirements as outlined by the rules and
standards set by the Ohio Department of Education. Complete and earn a state minimum of 20 credits
in specific subjects. Certain courses are specified by the state including Physical Education, Health, and
Fine Arts, as well as, core classes in English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Many students take
advantage of the elective courses offered and earn more than 20 credits.

Code of Conduct: All College Credit Plus students are bound by the Lorain County Community College
Code of Conduct. See link below for full Policy: https://www.lorainccc.edu/policies/campus-
policies/code-of-conduct/. LCCC students, faculty, staff and campus visitors are prohibitated from
engaging in those activities outlined in the Campus Code of Conduct. Students may refer to the LCCC
Catalog for complete details regarding these policies. Specific concerns include:
Academic Integrity: All forms of academic dishonesty are violation of the LCCC Code of Conduct. In
particular, students are cautioned against “plagarism of any kind: to steal or pass off as one’s own ideas,
words, writings, sources of another without giving direct and complete credit: to commit literary theft, to
present as new or original ideas, phrases, photos, sentences, or products of any length derived from an
existing source without citing the quotation as such and listing the complete source”.
Classroom Decorum: Faculty members are charged with responsibility for building and maintaining a
classroom atmosphere conductive to learning. Disruptive, disrespectful, or obstructive behavior will be
dealt with in terms specific to the syllaus for each Professor and in accord with the LCCC Code of
Conduct. Students may refer to the LCCC Catalog for complete details regarding these policies.
Consequences for these actions will be decided by the Professor teaching the course.
Attendance Policy: College Credit Plus students are college students and should be treated as such.
LCCC’s catalog states: “Procedures governing class attendance at LCCC allow each faculty member to
establish attendance regulations, which she/he deems necessary for her/his particular course. If attendance
becomes impossible, students must officially withdraw from the course.” Please see each individual
course syllabus to govern the policy and outcome.
What’s The Difference between High School and College?
First and foremost, the level of course difficulty is very different between college and high school
academic work. You may not spend as much time in the classroom as you did in high school, but you will
find the work to be more demanding, with more homework, reading and independent work. College
requires self-discipline and self-motivation.
For every hour that you spend in the classroom, you should expect to spend two hours on outside work.
For example, if you are taking 12 credit hours, you should plan to spend 12 hours per week in the
classroom (contact hours) and have 24 hours of homework per week. In other words, being a full-time
student is like having a full-time job.

Lorain City Schools (LCS) is committed to preparing all of its students for the rigorous demands of both
college coursework and the world of work. Lorain City Schools Career Technical Education offers a
variety of course options for students interested in entering the world of work immediately upon
graduation or in entering college at that time to further develop the workforce skills learned in high
school. Courses in Career Technical Education are each designed to teach students the practical
knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to function successfully on the job site and the academic
knowledge and skill necessary to enter college and succeed in college classes.
For students interested in post-secondary education, many programs are offered as College Tech Prep.
College Tech Prep affords students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. Such
an option is possible because Lorain City Schools, Lorain County Community College (LCCC) and other
colleges/universities have entered into an agreement to work together to guarantee that coursework
provided in high school meets the high standards of the Associate Degree coursework at the college or
university.
Each program will be served by an advisory committee that will monitor workforce trends, assure that the
program stays current, and assists in the placement of students into the work setting or into college.
Career Technical Education is an option for every high school student and can be taken in conjunction
