CCP Presentation January 26, 2017 College Credit Plus CCP Presentation January 26, 2017 Good Evening. Allow me to quote directly from the Sinclair Community College PSEO Overview. "The Post Secondary Enrollment Options Program provides high school students who are intellectually and socially capable of doing college work with an additional educational option. This program is intended to provide expanded opportunities for appropriately qualified high school students to experience course work at the college or university level. College courses should either contribute to or supplement the broad academic preparation needed by high school students"

What is College Credit Plus (CCP) CCP is a way for you to earn college and high school credit at the same time by taking college courses. CCP replaces the old PSEO and Dual Credit programs.

Who can participate? Students in grades 7-12 are eligible to apply for CCP to any public college or participating private college. The college will admit the student based on their college readiness in one or more subject areas.

How do students earn HS credit for college courses? CCP allows high school students to earn college credit and apply that credit towards their HS graduation requirements. Students who successfully complete a 3 credit- hour college course will result in 1.0 Carnegie unit earned at the HS. A 2 credit-hour course will result in 2/3 of a HS credit, and 1 credit- hour course will result in 1/3 of a HS credit.

How are HS graduation requirements affected? HS graduation requirements will not be waived as a result of participation in CCP. Students must still meet all of the LHS graduation requirements. Class of 2018 and beyond must also score at least 18 points on the end of course exams in the following subjects (English 9, English 10, Algebra I, Geometry, Physical Science (c/o 2018) Biology (c/o 2019), Government, and American History).

Where can students take college classes? Students can apply to take classes at any public college/university or participating private college. Students have various options as to where they can take classes based on the options provided by the college (@ the college, online). Some classes at LHS may have opportunities to earn college credit built into them.

Will CCP grades appear on a student’s HS transcript? Yes. HS credit will be awarded for any CCP course that is successfully completed. These courses will be listed on the student’s HS transcript and included in their GPA. CCP courses will be weighted if LHS has an equivalent AP course in that subject area (ex. CCP English Course would be weighted because LHS offers AP English).

How does CCP impact athletic eligibility? Students participating in CCP courses must still meet the eligibility requirements set by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). Students must be passing the equivalent of 5 courses each semester with a 1.5 GPA to be eligible.

What courses are available through CCP? Once admitted to a college for CCP, students may take any course in the college catalogue that applies towards a degree or professional certificate, in a subject area that the student is college-ready. Students are not permitted to take remedial or religious courses through CCP.

Summer courses Starting in the summer of 2016, CCP students will be allowed to take courses during the summer. The summer term will be considered the first term of the academic year (17-18 SY). Students wanting to take CCP courses during the summer will need to be scheduled in May. LHS counselors will not be available during the summer to advise CCP students.

Sample 15-hour pathway @ Sinclair COM 2211 Effective Public Speaking (3 hrs.) ENG 1101 English Composition (3 hrs.) HIS 1101 U.S. History I (3 hrs.) MAT 1470 College Algebra (4 hrs.) PSY 1100 General Psycholgoy (3 hrs.) Total 16 hrs.

Sample 30-Hour pathway @ Sinclair The 15-hour pathway plus this pathway COM 2206 Interpersonal Com. (3 hrs.) LIT 2220 Intro to Literature (3 hrs.) HIS 1102 U.S. History II (3 hrs.) MAT 1570 Trigonometry (3 hrs.) SOC 1101 Intro to Sociology (3 hrs.) Students are not required to take classes on the pathways.

Who pays for CCP courses? Students attending a public college/university will not be charged for tuition, books or fees. Students attending a private college may be charged up to a maximum of $153 per credit hour.

Who is responsible for transportation? The student and/or parent is responsible for transportation to and from the college.

What are the academic and social responsibilities? Students participating in CCP will be expected to follow all rules and regulations set by the college/university. Students will also be expected to follow all LHS school rules and regulations outlined in the student handbook. Once enrolled in CCP students will be eligible to receive advising from campus-based support services.

What happens if a student fails a course or w/d after the drop date? If a student does not successfully complete a course. They will receive an “F” on their HS and college transcript. LHS will seek reimbursement from the student’s family for the amount of state funds paid for that college course.

Will CCP credits transfer? Credits earned at the college/university will be accepted at that university. Credits will transfer to any state school in Ohio (Transfer Assurance Guidelines). Acceptance of CCP credits at other colleges/universities is at the discretion of those schools. Any credits taken through PSEO will be accepted by that university but may bot transfer to a different university. For example: a student earns a PSEO psychology 101 credit from Wright State. The student then graduates from FHS and attends Duke University. That psychology 101 credit may not be accepted at Duke.

Scheduling Conflicts Scheduling conflicts among college courses and high school courses/activities are NOT the responsibility of LCS. Conflicts will be resolved using the high school schedule as a priority. Changes to a student’s schedule resulting from failing to complete, or dropping a college course, must occur within the guidelines specified in the LHS curriculum guide. (let audience read slide first) If students have college classes scheduled during the school day, then the students may have to make choices between college and high school courses. However, a high school course required for graduation takes precedence. If a student fails or drops a PSEO course after these deadlines, students will not be able to schedule replacement classes at the high school.

Notification of Participation The college/university must send written notice to all appropriate parties (student, parent, high school district) within ten days of enrolling. The student should meet with counselor to adjust schedule as soon as they have their CCP classes scheduled. Upon receiving their college schedule of classes or classes in the summer, students should meet with their guidance counselor to adjust their schedule at FHS. We ask that students schedule classes at Fairborn High School as if they do not plan on participating in PSEO. That will give them their preferred schedule if they choose not to continue in the PSEO process. Students must provide a copy of their college schedule each term to their guidance counselor to confirm their registration.

Attendance Attendance at LHS for CCP students is required only during the classes scheduled at LHS. (read the first off the screen) If PSEO students miss more than the allotted days from any high school course, as described in the FHS attendance policy, PSEO credits may be forfeited.

Student Responsibilities Attending high school classes is top priority. On days when the high school schedule is altered in advance, (early release days, semester or final exams, and assembly days) students are expected to make the necessary arrangements to attend their high school classes, regardless of what time their classes are during the day. PSEO students must make arrangements to attend FHS courses on the days when the high school schedule is altered in advance. For example during early release days, semester or final exams, homeroom days, and assembly days the high school schedule is altered and classes are moved to accommodate the specific need. PSEO students need to attend all of their high school classes on those days. They will not be excused from their high school classes on those days.

Acknowledgement of Information/Counseling Form Any student who is interested in participating in CCP, must meet with their counselor and return a signed intent to participate form by March 31st. No late submissions will be accepted. Students who miss this deadline will not be allowed to participate. Submitting the form does not require participation. At this time, let me direct you to the PSEO Acknowledgement of Information/Counseling form you have received. At the conclusion of this program, we will have discussed the ten areas noted. The state law which established the PSEO program mandates that both a parent and the student attend the presentation explaining their rights and responsibilities as participants in the program. This Acknowledgement of Information/Counseling form must be signed by a parent and the student and submitted to the FHS guidance office no later than March 31, 2003. This completed form indicated your intent to pursue the application process. At any time up to actually starting college classes, you may stop the process. By meeting the March 31 deadline, you have secured our permission to participate in the PSEO program.
