EARNING COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL

Overview of CCP

•  College Credit Plus (CCP) is an opportunity for qualified high school students to take college classes before graduation

•  CCP Covers all dual credit programs •  High School and College Credit •  Free of charge to the student (public school students who are Ohio

residents) •  On campus, at the high school and on-line

•  Students may also participate in a self-pay option. These students will receive college credit (no high school credit available)

WHAT IS COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS?

What does CCP Cover?

•  CCP students will have costs paid by the school district. This includes:

•  Tuition •  Books (student may be required to return at the end

of the term) •  Fees

•  CCP does not include:

•  Optional Fees (parking, gym membership) •  Transportation

Self-Pay

WHY WOULD I DO SELF-PAY?

1.  Self-pay students may not want to have college classes on the high school transcript

2.  Self-pay students may want to take Dev-Ed, or remedial, courses (if available)

3.  Non-public and Home School students may do self-pay if they do not receive state funding for CCP

Maximum Credit Hours

•  Earn up to 30 credit hours in one academic year •  Maximum of 120 college credits, 7 – 12 grade.

Formula to determine eligible college hours: •  Take student’s # of high school Carnegie units and

multiply by 3. •  Subtract that answer from 30. •  This will give you the number of hours for which student

may earn in that academic year.  

Non-Public and Home-Schooled Students

•  Funding is by application and is not guaranteed

•  Must submit letter of intent and application

•  Will receive notification of award—credit hours may be limited

college/university
