Overview

What is the College Credit Plus Program?

• The College Credit Plus Program was created by the

Ohio Legislature to allow students to earn college credits before graduating from high school.

• Students receive both high school and college

credit simultaneously.

• Tuition, fees and textbooks related to the

coursework are provided to the student free of charge.

• Strengthening the high school curriculum and raising

expectations for high school students.

• Reducing the total number of credits needed to be

earned in college.

• Potentially reducing the time required for the

baccalaureate and costs to parents, students, and taxpayers.

• Enriching the undergraduate college curriculum by

lessening the need to retake some introductory courses, consequently allowing earlier entry into more advanced courses, facilitating double majors, or permitting additional electives.

Advantages for College-level Learning During High School:

Potential College Credit Plus Expenses

• Students must pay tuition expenses to the

school district for any course withdrawals or failed courses.

• Parking fees are the responsibility of the

student if taking classes on the campus.

Books and Fees

Students attending a public university or community college do not pay for either books or fees. Students attending a private college may have a cost that includes books and fees.

Deadline for Students: You must submit an Intent to Participate Form to the state by April 1 if you plan to participate next year.

Class Selection

College Credit Plus students may take a wide variety of university classes, but many take General Education or core classes which also fulfill high school graduation requirements. The only restrictions on classes are that students must meet necessary placement and/or prerequisite requirements. Classes have included:

• Government & Politics in the U.S.
• Economics
• English Composition
• Physical Education and Health
• Sciences
• Foreign Languages
• Psychology
• Sociology
• Speech
• Mathematics
• Art
• Music

The grades you earn in the college courses will be recorded on your college transcript and your high school transcript. The grades may satisfy high school required or elective classes.

Grades are Applied to High School Transcripts

Weighted Grades

College courses must be weighted equally to the greatest weight of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or honors classes, in the same subject area.

AP, IB, Honors Class College Course

CCP Credit Limit

The maximum number of college credits that can be taken in a school year are 30 (including summer.) Students may pay to take more than 30 credits. Students can earn up to 120 college credit hours while in the program.

A semester college course of 3 or more credits counts as a one-year high school class.

• Ex. English Composition 111 (3 credits) fulfills
• ne full credit of high school English.

College courses worth less than 3 college credits are divided by 3 to determine equivalent high school credits.

• Count the number of secondary units the

student is earning for HS credit only

• Multiply that number by 3
• Subtract that number from 30
