Overview of CCP WHAT IS COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS? 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 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? Self-pay students may not want to have college classes on the high school transcript Self-pay students may want to take Dev-Ed, or remedial, courses (if available) Non-public and Home School students may do self-pay if they do not receive state funding for CCP

Maximum Credit Hours Formula to determine eligible college hours: CCP will allow a student to earn 30 credit hours in one academic year Students can earn a 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 If awarded, must submit copy of award letter to college/university

Benefits of CC+ Free college credit Opportunity to enroll in classes not available at high school Exposure to college faculty/ college expectations College credit may transfer easily (especially between public institutions within Ohio)

Risks of CC+ Financial Risk If unsuccessful, may have to reimburse school district College coursework may be more rigorous and take more time than high school coursework Transportation not provided for on-campus classes Course credit may not transfer to private or out-of-state colleges Federal Financial Aid may be impacted ‘W,’ ‘F,’ maximum time frame

CC+, AP, IB, Honors—What’s Best?
