College coursework is more rigorous than high school ◦ Pace is much faster – students will cover the same content as a year-long AP course in a 15 week semester. ◦ College faculty expect more work to be done outside of the classroom. High school calendar and college calendar very rarely match: ◦ Colleges still in session on teacher in-service days and Spring Breaks.
7
Financial Risk ◦ CC+ legislation states the school district may require families to repay the cost of tuition and books for students who fail or withdraw from classes past the posted deadline. ◦ Future Federal Financial Aid may be impacted Federal guidelines limit the amount of courses you may attempt (even if they are taken while in high school) to 150% of the number of credit hours needed for a degree. Federal guidelines also state that you must successfully complete 67% of the courses you attempt.

Per HB 487, College Credit Plus courses must receive the equivalent weight as any weighted course within a given content area. Student grades will be converted to the Xenia Community Schools approved grading scale; however the college will impose their own grading scale as approved by the university. Example, 90% on the Xenia grading scale is an “A”, while it may be an ”A-“ at the university. 3 Semester hours = 1 Carnegie High School Credit

If a student is taking all course work at the post-secondary institution, the minimum # of semester hours to maintain Athletic Eligibility is 13. For eligibility purposes, 5 semester hours are calculated as 1 high school credit.
