CCP Courses 1. Each course is ONE semester rather the one school year 2. A three, four or five credit college course = 1 high school credit 3.

Classes can be taken summer, fall and spring semesters 6. Courses paid for by the district must be non-secular 7. CCP courses are weighted the same as an AP class if the HS offers an AP course in the same subject area. 8. For every one hour of a college class, expect 3 hours of outside work.
CCP Books The district is responsible for providing textbooks for students, however CCP books are NOT the property of the student. Students must return books at the end of the semester following the book return policy of the college they are attending. Failure to return books can result in financial penalty and/or the withholding of the student’s grades.

CCP Credit Formula 30 – 3(HS credits) = CCP credits per school year The CCP law states the school district can pay up to 30 credits per school year with a maximum of 120 for the student‘s total time in the program. The 30 credits is a combination of high school and college credits using the formula above. A student that chooses to go over 30 credits per school year will be financially responsible for the overage and will be charged the per credit rate of that college.
CCP Credit Formula Example Fall Semester Spring Semester CCP College Comp. I (3 college credits) CCP College Comp. II (3 college credits) AP Statistics (.5 HS Credits) AP Statistics (.5 HS Credits) Physics (.5 HS Credits) Physics (.5 HS credits) CCP General Psychology(3 college credits) CCP Sociology (3 college credits) Introduction to Business (.5 HS credits) Marketing (.5 HS credits) 30 – 3(3 HS credits) = CCP credits for school year 30 – 9 HS credits = 21 CCP credits for school year
